Method

Prep the Ingredients: If you're using açaí packs, break them into smaller pieces for easier blending. Peel and slice your banana beforehand, and measure out your other ingredients.

Load Your Blender: Add the liquid base first to your blender (this helps the blades catch the frozen fruit easily). Follow with the frozen açaí, mixed berries, and banana.

Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a splash more liquid; if too thin, add extra ice or frozen berries.

Taste and Adjust: Check the flavor. If you'd like it sweeter, add your choice of sweetener and blend again. If you want a thicker consistency—for a smoothie bowl—add more frozen fruit or a bit of ice and blend again.

Serve and Top: Pour your smoothie into a tall glass, or for a smoothie bowl experience, into a wide bowl. Top with granola, fresh fruit slices, coconut flakes, chia seeds, or nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
