Notes

If you don't want to use almond milk, try oat milk or soy milk.
In the grocery store, you can find frozen acai puree in the frozen fruit section. It's usually sold in individual 3.5 oz packets. Before adding the puree to your blender, thaw it first or cut into chunks. Check the packaging of the acai puree for suggestions on thawing the ingredient.
If you only have one type of frozen berry on hand, feel free to use it in place of mixed berries.
Always use a ripe banana. It will have the best flavor and texture. Ripe bananas are yellow with some brown spots and not too firm.
If you prefer sweeter smoothies, add 1 tablespoon date syrup to the recipe.
Add a bit of extra almond milk if the smoothie is too thick. Blend for another 10 seconds to combine.
Drink the smoothie fresh. If needed, you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight jar for 1-2 days max.
