Tips

•If your blender struggles, let the açaí sit at room temperature for 1 minute, then break it up before blending.
•For a more traditional Brazilian-style bowl, keep the base very thick and eat it with a spoon, not a straw.
•Choose a vegan granola, as some commercial granolas contain honey.

Steps

1
Freeze the banana slices ahead if not already frozen. For the thickest texture, chill 2 serving bowls in the freezer for 2-3 minutes while you gather the ingredients.
2
Add the frozen unsweetened açaí purée, frozen banana, cold plant milk, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender. Blend, stopping to scrape down as needed, until very thick and smooth. Use the minimum liquid needed so the mixture stays spoonable rather than drinkable.

Origin & History

Açaí na tigela became popular in Brazil, especially in Pará where açaí is native, and later evolved into the sweeter, fruit-blended version associated with Rio de Janeiro beach culture. Today it is enjoyed across Brazil as a refreshing breakfast, snack, or post-workout bowl.
