Breakfast just got a little more delicious and nutritious with these Fall Açai Bowls filled with antioxidant-rich açai fruit puree and creamy dairy-free So Delicious Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative.
Add frozen açai, So Delicious Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative, frozen bananas, ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to a high-powered blender.
Process until smooth, occasionally mixing and scraping down sides of blender. If you do not have a high powered blender or just need a little help processing, add up to ¼ cup of almond milk. Remember, you want the açai mixture to be thicker than a smoothie so that you can easily place topping on it and eat with a spoon.
Spoon açai into two bowls. Flatten the top of the açai mixture with the back of a spoon.
Top the açai bowl with sliced figs, apples, pecans, dried cranberries and pepitas.
Drizzle with one teaspoon of So Delicious Coconut Yogurt Alternative, optional.
Serve immediately.
Notes
I used a high-powered blender for this recipe, but you can use any kind of blender. You may just need to add additional liquid to help it process if it's too thick. I suggest Silk Almondmilk.
You’ll also need to stop the blender periodically and mix the açai contents to help it along and so that the blender doesn’t overheat.
You want the consistency to be really thick so you can eat it with a spoon vs thin like a smoothie.
You can use whatever toppings you’d like on this smoothie. Here are some fall inspired toppings for your açai bowl:
Granola
Almond butter
Pears
Pomegranate arils
Apple butter
Maple syrup
You can find packets of frozen açai at your grocery store in the freezer section next to all of the berries. Make sure that the ingredients are 100% pure açai and don’t contain any added sugars for the best flavor. Açai typically comes in 3.5 oz packets, so in this recipe we’re using 2 packets.
