Ingredients

  • Frozen acai puree packs (100g or about 3.5 oz each)
  • Frozen mixed berries (1 cup / 150g)
  • Banana (1 medium, sliced and frozen)
  • Unsweetened almond milk (½ cup / 120ml)
  • Rolled oats (1 cup / 90g)
  • Chopped nuts (½ cup / 60g; almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • Chia seeds (2 tbsp)
  • Maple syrup (2 tbsp)
  • Coconut oil (1 tbsp, melted)
  • Ground cinnamon (½ tsp)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh fruit (sliced banana, kiwi, or seasonal berries)
  • Raw honey (2 tbsp)
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, 2 tbsp)
  • Goji berries or cacao nibs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Drizzle melted coconut oil and maple syrup over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the granola mixture evenly on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  6. In a high-speed blender, add frozen acai puree packs, frozen mixed berries, frozen banana slices, and almond milk.
  7. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides or adding a splash more almond milk if needed to achieve a scoopable texture.
  8. Spoon the creamy acai mixture into a bowl.
  9. Top generously with homemade granola, fresh fruit slices, shredded coconut, and optional add-ons like goji berries or cacao nibs.
  10. Drizzle raw honey over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the fruit frozen for a thick, creamy texture. Stir granola halfway through baking for even toasting. Let granola cool completely before adding to the bowl to avoid sogginess. For vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
