How to Make Your Own Acai Bowls at Home
One of the most commonly asked questions we get asked here at SAMBAZON is "How do I make an Açaí Bowl with a thick and creamy consistency"? There's no one better to teach this lesson than the Açaí Bowl Master herself, Earthy Andy!
Watch the video below to see how Earthy Andy teaches Coco Ho, Hawaiian Surfing Icon, how to get a thick, creamy, delicious and nutritious Açaí bowl every time she blends.
Step 1: Buy High-Quality, Organic Acai Bowl Packets
When it comes to creating the perfect Acai bowl, choosing the right Acai is essential. At SAMBAZON, our Acai packets are more than just a product; they're a commitment to the Sustainable Managment of the Brazilian Amazon.
By selecting SAMBAZON's Acai, you're choosing organic, fair trade certified Acai that's sustainably harvested. Our Acai packets offer options depending on your flavor preference, ensuring you can craft the exact bowl you're craving or that works for your lifestyle.
SAMBAZON Acai is manufactured in Brazil in our factories that received an AA+ from BRCGS, the highest rating a food manufacturing company can receive. BRCGS is the gold standard for good manufacturing practices and provides customers (like you!) assurance that a brand’s products are safe, legal and of high quality. When you prepare your Acai bowl with SAMBAZON, you're not only indulging in a delicious treat but supporting ethical and sustainable practices.
Step 2: Choose Your Favorite Acai Bowl Recipe
Ready to choose with Acai bowls recipe to make? We recommend starting with the popular "Earthy Andy" bowl, but you can always discover more on our Acai Bowl Recipes page. Explore, blend, and treat yourself to Acai goodness with our wide variety of Acai bowl options.
Step 3: Get Your Acai Packs Ready
Use 2 SAMBAZON Açaí packets for a thick and delicious smoothie bowl. We recommend giving our Original Blend a try if it's your first time! Cut open packs like a pro by using a sharp non-serrated knife to cut them in half, and then breaking them into your blender. You can also run them under hot water for a few seconds to make them more blend-able. By making the Açaí chunks smaller, you will have a much smoother blending process.
Step 4: Freeze those (Peeled) Bananas
If you want a truly creamy texture, the trick is freezing your peeled bananas in advance. They give the smoothie bowl the perfect velvety consistency.
Step 5: Add Other Fruits (The More the Merrier!)
Add other frozen fruit - raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, or mango - the more variety the merrier! We like to mix it up each time with new ingredients.
Step 6: Add a Little Liquid
Start slow with a little liquid (about 1 oz per pack). You can always add more liquid if needed, but you can't take it away once it's been added!
Step 7: Use a Powerful Blender
Having a strong blender is key - you can never go wrong with a Ninja, Blendjet, or Vitamix. It's also useful to have a blender that includes a Blender Tamper to move ingredients around. This will help blend your ingredients into a smooth consistency with minimal liquid, making your smoothie bowl that much thicker. It takes time to mix and push down ingredients, and your blender might need a moment to rest. Make sure take it easy, be careful, and be patient in order to achieve the right consistency with your frozen puree. Don't get discouraged! The wait is worth the reward! Halfway through, take your blender off the base and shake the ingredients, or stir them with a spoon or your blender tamper to help the blending process (with your blender turned off of course!).
Step 8: Get the Consistency Right
You can add liquid in 1 oz increments after blending to get the right consistency but add it slowly. If you overdo it, you can always add in more frozen bananas to get a thicker blend. The method is to blend, mix, check consistency, add liquid or frozen fruit if needed, and repeat! It should be thick enough that it won’t slide out of the blender without help, and have a nice swirl to it.
Step 9: Add Texture via Toppings
Get creative with your toppings: fresh fruit, crunchy granola, hearty nuts and seeds, cocoa nibs, and shredded coconut. Decorate your bowl like the masterpiece that it is!
Step 10: Enjoy!
You’ve worked hard to make your Açaí bowl just right, so all there is left to do is enjoy it and get your purple smile on!
Master the Perfect Acai Bowl Consistency
The perfect Açaí Bowl has a thick and creamy consistency that packs a punch of purple deliciousness with every bite. Once you’re done blending, your mix should be thick enough that it won’t slide out of the blender without help, and have the perfect swirl to it. This will give every spoonful the velvety texture you dream of. Because sweet dreams are made of delicious Açaí!
