Let's cook
Break up the açaí
Run the sealed frozen packs under warm water for 10 seconds, then snap them into pieces before they go in the blender. Solid blocks just spin uselessly.
Blend with minimal liquid
Add the açaí, frozen banana, berries, almond butter, honey, and only 3 tablespoons of liquid.
Scrape, do not pour
Blend on low, stopping repeatedly to scrape the sides down. The mixture should move like soft-serve and hold a peak.
💡Every extra splash of liquid costs thickness. Patience with the scraping is the whole technique.
Bowl it
Spoon into two chilled bowls and flatten the surface with the back of a spoon.
Top and serve
Arrange the granola, banana, coconut, and cacao nibs in rows and eat immediately.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes
Unsweetened açaí packs are quite tart on their own, which is what the banana and honey are balancing. Chilling the bowls in the freezer beforehand buys several extra minutes before it melts.
- •Vegan: Use agave in place of honey.
- •Nut-free: Sunflower seed butter and a nut-free granola.
- •Thicker still: Add half an avocado — it does not taste of anything here but makes the texture noticeably creamier.
