Our Favorite Acai Recipes

So you’ve finally gotten your mitts on some frozen Acai pulp and you’re ready to really make a big – and tasty- change in your diet…

No doubt you’ll try eating some Acai pulp straight out of the pack, and although both healthy and interesting, it would make for a boring diet if that was all you ate for one or two meals each & every day.
 
What you now need is a few good Acai recipes to get you started. We’ve got you covered for the first few, below here on this page. In the future you can also find other good websites online like the official Acai Recipes site for more.

But for now, let’s get your day started with what is no doubt the world’s favorite Acai-based breakfast; the Rio Bowl:

The Rio Bowl

Ingredients- 1 large, ripe banana 100 to 200 grams (1 to 2 packs) pure frozen Acai Pulp 1/2 cup Apple Juice, water, or low fat milk (or soy milk) 2 tablespoons of Honey (optional, for people with a real sweet tooth)

Toppings:

1/4 cup Granola – An absolute must!
Remaining banana slices or strawberry slices

Instructions-

Slice two-thirds of a large banana into a blender & add the 2 packs of pure Acai pulp or puree with enough apple juice or soy milk to cover the blades of the blender. (Usually 1/2 cup)
Blend Thick and pour/scoop into a bowl. Sprinkle on granola and the remaining toppings. Enjoy fresh each morning for a kick that will replace your coffee and give you energy all day long!

Prefer to drink your Acai meal, perhaps for a quick and tasty lunch? Try a classic Acai-based smoothie, which is gaining incredible popularity right now in sports bars and gyms across the continent:

A Classic Acai Smoothie

Ingredients- 200 grams (2 packs) pure frozen Acai Pulp 1/2 Cup apple juice One whole banana 1/2 Apple or other fruit of choice (Mangoes and Strawberries are both excellent!) Instructions- Blend all together until fine in smoothie blender. Drink immediately!

The final word on Acai Recipes:

Both recipes above are extremely customizable. You are encouraged to replace as much of any one as you wish with your favorite fruits or ingredients for a meal you’ll be happy with in the long run. (Just be sure to always use ½ cup of some kind of liquid in your blender!)

It’s really easy to mix-n-match flavors and doing so supplies you with a never-ending variation of taste. You can try one fruit at a time to mix with your Acai, or you can stuff every kind of fruit you can find all in the same blender. You can even add in some chocolate or frozen yogurt if you’d like!

Here’s a great tip: Check your local grocer’s frozen fruits section for mixed fruit packs that you can try mixing in for great tasting variations.

Enjoy your Acai!
