Ingredients

Ideogram
  • 1 frozen açaí packet (or 2 tablespoons açaí powder)
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 banana (frozen works best)
  • ½ cup orange juice (or preferred juice)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Your favorite toppings (e.g., granola, shredded coconut, fresh berries, chia seeds)

Instructions

To begin, remove the frozen açaí packet from the freezer and run it under warm water for a few seconds to help it loosen. If you’re using açaí powder, skip the thawing step and head straight to the blender.

Next, place the açaí, frozen pineapple chunks, banana, and orange juice in your blender. If you’d like a hint of extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup. Blend on high, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary, until your base is smooth and thick. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more juice; if it’s too thin, toss in a few more pineapple chunks or another bit of frozen banana.

Once the consistency is just right—like soft-serve ice cream—transfer the mixture into a bowl. Top it with anything that makes your taste buds sing: granola for crunch, fresh berries for color, shredded coconut for tropical flair, and a sprinkle of chia seeds for an added nutrition boost.

This açaí bowl is a sunshine-filled treat for breakfast, brunch, or even a refreshing midday snack. Bursting with vitamins and antioxidants, it fits beautifully into a balanced lifestyle. If you’re watching sugar intake, opt for fresh fruit toppings instead of sweetened granola. Feel free to swap out the orange juice for coconut water or almond milk, and add spinach or kale for a stealthy green boost. With its breezy, flexible nature, the Tropical Sunrise Açaí Bowl is a welcoming choice for anyone craving a little morning brightness in their bowl.
