Step 1

Prepare all your toppings. This includes thinly slicing your banana and getting the other toppings out and ready. You will want to do this before you start the base because you will not want your base to begin to melt while you are chopping your fruit. This creates a seamless transition to add toppings at the end so you can enjoy your bowl before it is too runny.

Step 2

To begin working on the base, thaw the frozen acai packs. This can be done by leaving them out on the counter or by putting them in warm water for a minute or two. This allows the acai to easily come out of the pack and be added to the blender.

Add your base ingredients to your blender. This includes the two acai packs, 1/2 a banana, 1/4 cup of oat milk, 1/2 cup of frozen mixed berries, and one tablespoon of peanut butter.
