Put almond milk, acai puree, frozen banana, and frozen berries into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute. Use the tamper tool to help move the ingredients in the blender.
Spoon into a bowl. Serve immediately.
Add optional toppings like sliced fresh banana and frozen berries.

Always use a blender tamper tool to make an acai bowl. It allows you to push ingredients around without touching the blades. This is key for breaking down the frozen fruit.
Instead of almond milk, you can also use dairy milk or non-dairy options, such as hemp milk, oat milk, or coconut milk from the carton.
Acai puree is sold in packets in the frozen fruit section of the grocery store. Thaw the acai puree a bit before using.
To thaw acai puree, leave the packet in the refrigerator overnight. You can also run it under warm water, place it in a bowl of warm water, or let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 7 minutes.
If you don’t have frozen mixed berries, you can use 1 cup of a single type.
Before freezing the banana, be sure to cut it into coins first. Never add a whole frozen banana to a blender.
Avoid green bananas, which are unripe and bitter. Instead, choose a banana that has a yellow peel with some brown spots.
For a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon date syrup or a chopped Medjool date.
To thin the acai bowl, add a bit of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
You can refrigerate leftover acai bowls, but it will lose thickness. Keep it in an airtight glass for up to 1-2 days.
