Receita de Açaí na Tigela
Ingredientes
- ½ Banana Congelada - peeled, sliced
- ¼ xícara Mirtilos Congelados
- ¼ xícara Manga Congelada
- 7 oz Frozen Acai - 2 packets frozen acai
- ½ xícara Leite de côco
Optional but recommended for sweeter bowl
- 1 colher de sopa Maple Syrup
- 1 colher de chá de extrato de baunilha
Toppings
- 1 colher de chá Manteiga de amendoim (sem sal)
- ¼ xícara Granola Caseira
- 1 colher de sopa Amêndoas fatiadas
- 2 colheres de sopa Mirtilo
- ¼ pequeno Fatias de banana
Instruções
- Add the frozen banana slices, frozen mango cubes, and packets of frozen acai puree to the jug of a high-speed blender.
- Add half the milk and blend on low speed (Vitamix speed 3) until it forms an icy fruit crumble.
- Stop the blender and add the remaining dairy-free milk. Blend again (Vitamix speed 3), using the tamper attachment of the blender in a swirling motion to help the mixture blend.
- Keep pushing the fruits with the tamper tool – this helps create an ice cream bowl without adding more milk. Repeat these actions until it forms a soft-serve texture.
- If it becomes too liquid, blend in ice cubes of more frozen mango/banana. If the mixture doesn't blend very well, add more plant-based milk, only one tablespoon at a time, blend, and repeat until the favorite texture is achieved.
De servir
- Serve with your favorite toppings like homemade granola, fruits or nuts, and seeds.

What Is Açaí?
Acai berries (pronouced a·sai) are small fruits with a dark purple color growing on the acai palm tree in South America. While acai is not easy to buy fresh, many grocery stores sell frozen acai puree packets, perfect for smoothies and smoothie bowls.
Acai is one of the superfruits we should add more often to our day for many reasons. First, acai is packed with a high amount of antioxidants. It contains four times more antioxidant properties than blueberries. It means that acai is extremely powerful at protecting against cell damage.
Next, it’s packed with vitamins, and studies show that it lowers bad cholesterol. Finally, acai helps regulate blood sugar levels and is low in natural sugar and carbs. Therefore, it’s a great fruit to incorporate into your day, even on a low-carb diet or if you have diabetes.
Ingredientes e Substituições
All you need to make this easy acai smoothie bowl recipe are:
- Acai Puree – I buy frozen packets from the grocery store.
- Manga Congelada – You can use fresh mango as well, but the season is often quite short.
- Banana Congelada – Pick the fruit you enjoy the most. Acai is low in sugar and slightly bitter, so blending it with a sweeter fruit boost, its sweet flavor naturally.
- Mirtilos Congelados – Because it’s available all year round!
- Leite de côco or any non dairy milk you love, including almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
How To Make A Perfect Acai Bowl Recipe
Acai bowls from your local café can be expensive, and making yours at home is much cheaper and healthier.
- Simply pour all the ingredients into the jug of your high-speed blender.
- Use the tamper attachment to push the ingredients next to the blade while blending on low speed – speed 3 of a Vitamix.
- If too thick, add a splash of plant-based milk.
- If too liquid, add a few ice cubes or extra frozen fruits.
- The acai bowl is ready when all the frozen fruits turn into a thick creamy dark purple ice cream-like texture.
Variações
You can use this basic homemade acai bowl recipe to create a range of flavors and a healthy breakfast. For example, to boost the fiber and proteins of the bowl, add some acai bowls healthy pairing.
- One tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Acai powder – 1 to 2 teaspoons.
- Vanilla plant-based protein powder – 1 to 2 tablespoons, but you will need to add the same amount of milk, or the texture will be difficult to blend.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – add 1-2 teaspoons.
De servir
Acai bowls must be served immediately or they melt. Pour the mixture into a large shallow bowl and serve it with your favorite toppings like breakfast granola or fruits. Below are some ideas to top your acai bowl with extra nutritious food add texture:
- Unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
- Amêndoas fatiadas
- Fresh fruits like – blueberries – fresh or frozen, strawberries, banana slices, or kiwi fruits slices.
- Granola rica em proteínas
- Granola de manteiga de amendoim
- Granola de chocolate
- Drizzle of peanut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter.
Trocas de alergias
If you have food allergies, try some of the swaps below.
- Sem coco – Replace the coconut milk with oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk.
- Sem banana – You can swap the banana for more frozen mango or use the low-carb option below.
- Low-Carb – Acai and blueberries are low-carb fruits. However, mango and bananas are high in sugar. To cut down the sugar, swap these two fruits for frozen zucchini slices and frozen cauliflower. But the smoothie bowl won’t be very sweet, so add a few drops of vanilla stevia drops or 1-2 tablespoons of natural sugar-free sweetener like allulose or erythritol to sweeten.
- Sem glúten – The recipe is naturally gluten-free. Make sure your toppings are also wheat-free.
