Ingredients

• 200 g frozen unsweetened açaí pulp (2 packs)
• 1 banana, sliced and frozen
• 60 ml chilled coconut water or water
• 2 tbsp honey or guaraná syrup
• 60 g Granola
• 1 Banana, sliced
• 4 Strawberries, sliced
• 1 tbsp Desiccated coconut (optional)

Method

1. Run the açaí packs under warm water for a few seconds, then break the pulp into chunks.
2. Put the açaí, frozen banana, coconut water and honey in a blender. Blend in short bursts, stopping to push everything down, until it is smooth and as thick as soft-serve. Add a splash more liquid only if the blender stalls.
3. Scoop into two chilled bowls.
4. Top with the granola, sliced banana, strawberries and coconut, and eat straight away.

Tips

• Use maple syrup instead of honey to make it vegan, and a gluten-free granola if you need it.
• Frozen fruit and very little liquid are the keys to a spoonably thick bowl rather than a drink.
