To begin, set up your blender or food processor. Take out the frozen açaí pulp and allow it to thaw slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make blending easier.

In the blender, add the thawed açaí pulp, one sliced banana, mixed berries, and half the coconut water (or almond milk). Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth but thick, like a sorbet. If it’s too thick to blend, add a little more coconut water or almond milk to achieve the right consistency.

Taste the açaí mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add the honey and blend again. However, many people enjoy the natural tartness of açaí, so this step can be adjusted according to your taste preference.

Divide the blended açaí evenly into four serving bowls. The consistency should be thick enough to hold toppings without them sinking, think of a creamy sorbet texture.

Now, prepare your toppings. Slice the remaining banana and any additional fresh fruits you’d like to use, such as strawberries, mango, or kiwi. Set them aside for assembly.

To add some extra richness and protein, you can drizzle peanut butter or almond butter over the açaí base. This adds a delightful creamy element to the bowl.

Top each açaí bowl with the sliced fruits, granola, and a sprinkle of coconut flakes for added crunch and texture. These toppings complement the açaí's natural flavour, giving the dish a perfect balance of freshness and crunch.

Serve your Açaí na Tigela immediately, garnishing with an extra drizzle of honey if desired. For an authentic Brazilian touch, enjoy it with a spoon, savouring the combination of smooth açaí and the variety of textures from the fresh fruits and granola.
