• Prep time: 15 to 20 minutes

Tropical Acai Bowl Ingredients

This healthy smoothie bowl is made with a tropical blend of frozen fruits and acai, then topped with fresh fruit, granola, and coconut shreds! These refreshing flavors will transport you to a tropical island.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the acai smoothie bowl (bonus: it’s dairy free!):

• Almond milk
• Frozen acai
• Frozen whole strawberries
• Frozen pineapple chunks
• Frozen mango chunks
• Peanut butter

For the toppings, you’ll need:

• Mango
• Banana
• Strawberries
• Granola
• Shredded coconut

We love using KIND oats and honey granola with toasted coconut for this tropical acai bowl. The flavors play so well with the tropical fruits and shredded coconut! Plus, KIND granola is one of the healthiest options for granola since it’s made with whole grains and natural sweeteners.

You can typically find frozen acai packets at the grocery store, near the frozen fruit. We like to use the Sambazon brand ones.

Adding a little peanut butter to these smoothie bowls gives them some extra protein and helps create a thicker consistency. You can skip this ingredient if you want, but note that the smoothie may end up a little thinner.

How To Make A Tropical Acai Bowl

All you need to make a tropical acai bowl is a powerful blender. If you have one with a tamper, even better! If not, you’ll need a large spoon to help mash the chunks of frozen fruit.

Here’s how to make this easy breakfast recipe:

1. First, add the almond milk, frozen acai packet, frozen fruit, and peanut butter to a blender. Blend on medium speed, smashing and stirring often with a tamper or a large spoon, until the smoothie has a creamy, thick, and even consistency. You may need to add an extra splash or two of almond milk to help it blend, depending on how powerful your blender is.
2. Next, transfer the smoothie to a bowl for serving.
3. Finally, top with fresh fruit, granola, and shredded coconut. Serve immediately.
