Supplies Needed
High powered blender – for that rich thickness you know and love, you need a high power blender. If you don’t the texture will be a bit different than what you can buy at your favorite shop.
Therefore, a lower powered blender will still taste delicious just the thickness and texture will be altered.
Food Processor – as an alternative you can use a food processor in replace of a blender.
Types of Acai for Smoothie Bowl
- Frozen Acai packets – Depending on where you live you can buy frozen packets, that you can dump right in your blender. This is like frozen berries which helps for that thick texture.
- Acai Powder – This is what I used as our store did not carry frozen. I added 2 tablespoons into my bowl for the delicious acai blend of flavor.

Storage
Personally, this Acai smoothie is best served fresh. Moreover, since you use frozen fruit you will find it melts and the texture will change if you let it sit.
If you happen to not eat it all right away it can be stored in the fridge for around 24 hours. But just know it will have a different texture.
Leave the toppings off, until you are ready to eat.
