How to Make Açaí Bowl: Step by Step

Making your Açaí Bowl with the Ninja Creami is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these detailed steps:

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

1. Add the Açaí: Open the packets of Sambazon Açaí Superfruit and break the frozen açaí into chunks. Place it into your blender.

2. Include the Banana: Peel the banana and add it to the blender.

3. Add the Berries: Toss in the fresh strawberries and blueberries. These will contribute to the fruity flavor and lovely color.

4. Pour in the Milk: Add the cup of soy milk (or your choice of milk) to the blender for that creamy texture.

5. Include the Yogurt: The Greek yogurt not only makes the mixture smooth but also adds a protein punch.

6. Sweeten it Up: Finally, pour in one tablespoon of agave syrup or your preferred sweetener.

7. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 2: Prepare for Freezing

1. Transfer to Ninja Creami Container: Carefully pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami container. Be cautious not to exceed the maximum fill line.

Storage Tips to Store Açaí Bowl

If you have leftover Açaí Bowl mixture, here’s how to store it to maintain freshness:

1. Freezer Storage: If you haven’t already, pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for later use. It will keep well for about a month.

2. Re-Process: If it becomes too hard when thawed, simply run it through the Ninja Creami again to regain its creamy texture.

3. Toppings: Store toppings separately in the fridge. Fresh fruits and nuts are best used within a few days to maintain their freshness and texture.

4. Avoid Overfreezing: Try to consume your Açaí Bowl within a few days, as over time it may lose its flavor and texture.
