Ingredients

For the Base

1 large Frozen Banana Adds natural sweetness and creaminess; freeze ripe bananas yourself for optimal texture.
1 cup Frozen Blueberries or Mixed Berries Provides antioxidants and vibrant color; substitute with any favorite frozen berries.
½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt Contributes protein and a creamy texture; can swap with a thick plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
1 scoop Vanilla or Plain Protein Powder Boosts protein content; can use whey, plant-based, or collagen protein powders.
1 ½ tablespoons Acai Powder Adds flavor and antioxidants; consider adding more for a stronger acai taste.
⅓ cup Oat Milk or Almond Milk Acts as a liquid base; any dairy-free milk of choice will work beautifully.

For Toppings

to taste Granola Adds a crunchy texture; choose your favorite blend for added flavor.
to taste Coconut Flakes Brings a tropical twist; opt for unsweetened if you prefer less sugar.
to taste Chia Seeds Packed with nutrients and fiber; a small addition goes a long way for health benefits.
1 Sliced Bananas For extra sweetness and freshness; use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
to taste Strawberries Brighten up your bowl with vibrant color and juicy flavor; fresh or frozen both work well.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients: a large frozen banana, a cup of frozen blueberries or mixed berries, half a cup of plain Greek yogurt, protein powder, acai powder, and oat or almond milk.
Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen banana, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and acai powder. Pour in the oat or almond milk and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until you achieve a thick and creamy consistency.
Adjust Consistency: If the mixture appears too thick, add a little more milk and blend again. If you prefer a colder bowl, toss in a few ice cubes and blend until smooth.
Serve and Decorate: Pour the acai base into a serving bowl and add your favorite toppings, like granola and fresh fruits for extra texture and color.
Enjoy Immediately: Serve your acai bowl right after decorating for the best experience. Enjoy your high protein acai bowl as a fulfilling breakfast or post-workout snack.
