Homemade Acai Smoothie
My favorite place to get protein shakes has several acai options. They are about $10-$12 so I decided to make some at home! This recipe is easy, you only need a blender or stick mixer and about 10 minutes!
Ingredients 1 frozen acai bowl (Sams Club has them in 4 packs for $12 - the price of ONE shake from my fave spot!) or equivalent 8 oz product 2 scoops protein (the first time I made this I only used one - turns out the serving size is 2! I use Vega) 4 oz water or milk of choice (I used soy) Honey to taste Optional: Use acai bowl toppings (if included) to top
1. Put acai aside to thaw slightly. 2. Add protein powder to blender first, so it doesn't stick. 3. Add half of water/milk to blender. 4. Add acai and blend. 5. Add extra water/milk until desired thickness. Blend again. 6. Add honey on top. Pour into glass and serve.
ALTERNATIVE: Mix in the same order in a bowl using a stick mixer.
