Notes
Açaí can be found in the freezer section of most well stocked grocery stores.
Frozen banana gives the thick and creamy consistency of this smoothie bowl, which makes it taste like ice cream. If you do not have a frozen banana just use a fresh banana and add a handful of ice.
Once this starts to melt it becomes more smoothie than smoothie bowl, so serve straight away.
It can also be frozen and simply reblended when needed, or allow it to thaw and drink it as a smoothie.
