Ingredients

1 servings

3/4 cup milk (or milk alternative)
1 banana (cut in half {half used for the smoothie bowl, half for the toppings})
1 - 3.52 oz. acai fruit
1/2 cup frozen fruit (of your choice)
1 Tablespoon chia seeds ({optional})
2 Tablespoons flax seed meal ({optional})
Ice (to thicken)
Honey (as a sweetener if needed)
flaked coconut (Unsweetened)
Fresh fruit
Chia seeds
Granola
Honey
Peanut Butter

Method

1
Run the frozen acai packet under warm water for 5-10 seconds, until the acai starts to break apart.
2
Put the ingredients in the blender in the order listed. Turn your Vitamix to 1 and push start. Slowly turn up the speed until it is at full speed and blend for 45 seconds or until the smoothie is the texture you like.
3
Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings including fresh fruit, chia seeds, shredded coconut, a drizzle of peanut butter and honey.

Notes

You can use whatever fruit combination you want-I like to pair things like blueberries and pomegranate seeds together, strawberry and mango together or pineapple and mango together with the acai. Feel free to use your favorite combination! I used milk in my smoothie bowl but feel free to use whatever dairy or dairy alternative you like. Get creative with the toppings-my kids love to pick their own toppings. It can be a fun, interactive activity.
