High Protein Acai Bowl
The most refreshing, homemade high protein acai bowl with over 39 grams of protein and made with banana, blueberries, acai powder, and Greek yogurt. Top with your favorite granola for the perfect healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 large frozen banana, chopped
- 1 cup frozen blueberries or mixed berries
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt, 0% or 2%
- 1 scoop vanilla or plain protein powder, whey or plant
- 1 ½ Tbsp acai powder
- ⅓ cup oat milk or almond milk
- Topping Options: granola, coconut flakes, bee pollen, chia seeds, sliced banana, strawberries, blueberries, cacao nibs, honey.
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thinner acai smoothie bowl, add more milk. For a thicker one, add a bit more frozen banana or 1 - 3 ice cubes.
- Pour into a bowl and top with your choice of toppings. I love granola, banana slices, strawberry slices, coconut flakes, chia seeds, bee pollen, and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
Notes
Yogurt: I love plain 0% Greek yogurt, but any type should work. If vegan, use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
Frozen Banana: You can use a room-temperature banana. Simply add 2 – 4 ice cubes to make the smoothie bowl thick.
Protein Powder: I used whey protein, but you can use plant protein powder or collagen instead. Collagen has 30 grams of protein per serving.
Freezing: You can easily freeze acai bowls for meal prep. Simply prepare the smoothie bowl without toppings, add it to a freezer save container, and freeze for up to 6 months. When you are ready to enjoy your acai bowl, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Make it Vegan: To make this acai bowl 100% vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with almond milk yogurt, coconut yogurt, or your favorite dairy-free alternative. Also, make sure to use plant protein powder.
