STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE
Place the smoothie ingredients in a blender, starting with the milk. I like to use a NutriBullet but any high-speed blender will work.
STEP TWO
Blend until smooth and creamy. Check the consistency of the smoothie and add more milk if a thinner smoothie is preferred.
STEP THREE
Pour into serving glasses and enjoy immediately. You can optionally top your smoothie with fresh berries and chia seeds.
STORING YOUR ACAI BERRY SMOOTHIE
FRIDGE
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. But you can also store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for 1 - 2 days. The smoothie might separate slightly while stored - but just give it a quick stir before enjoying it!
FREEZER
You can also freeze your Tropical Acai Berry Boost Smoothie. Place it in an airtight freezer-safe jar, and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost the smoothie, place it in the fridge the night before you want to drink it. Then stir and enjoy the next day!
RECIPE NOTES
- If your smoothie is too thin, thicken it up by adding a few ice cubes.
- If your smoothie is too thick, you can thin it down by adding some extra milk or water.
- Use a good quality high-speed blender for extra smooth and creamy smoothies. I like to use this blender, but any blender will be able to get the job done!
- You can turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl by halving the amount of milk used. This will create a thicker smoothie that can be poured into a bowl and topped with fresh fruit, seeds, granola, yogurt, or nuts.
- If you want to make more smoothie mixture, you can double or triple the recipe, just keep the ratio of ingredients the same.
