This acai smoothie is easy to make with a mix of acai juice, berries and banana. It’s a delicious blend of healthy superfoods that adds a boost to your morning or afternoon!

Acai Berry Smoothie

There is nothing more refreshing than blended fresh fruit to breathe new life into your day. Healthy and delicious easy smoothies are the perfect way to ward off the cold-weather blues and pack lots of vitamins and nutrients into your meal.

My kids love the flavor of bananas and strawberries as well as the acai juice in this delicious tropical acai smoothie recipe. Feel free customize with add-ins like hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, or maybe a scoop of protein powder, nut butter, or collagen.

Ingredient Notes

• Acai juice: Using the juice means you do not have to add extra liquid. If you opt to use an acai packet or acai powder, you will need to add 1 cup liquid.
• Banana: Using 1/2 of a frozen banana makes the acai smoothie recipe thick and creamy.
• Strawberries: I used frozen strawberries, but frozen mixed berries could be used.

How to Make Acai Smoothie

It’s an easy 3 step process, all you need is your 3 ingredients, a blender, and a glass to drink from and you’re on your way to making your new favorite acai smoothie recipe!

1. Add: To a blender, add the acai juice, strawberries, and bananas.
2. Blend: Oh high speed, blend until smooth. Add more juice to thin it out or more strawberries (or banana) to thicken it up.
3. Pour: Grab a couple of glasses and pour to enjoy right away!

Tips and Variations

This acai and berry smoothie is perfect as is, but it can definitely be customized to your liking.

• Thickness. For a thicker, shake-like consistency, use a frozen banana.
• Creaminess. For added creaminess and weight, add a scoop of greek yogurt.
• Fruit. Swap the strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, mango, or really any other fruit you’d like. Just for a difference of flavor from time to time!
• Powders. Add in protein powder or collagen for extra protein. Keep in mind they come with added flavors so you’ll want to find one that will complement the flavors in the smoothie.
• Smoothie bowl. Make an extra thick smoothie and pour it into a bowl for a delicious acai smoothie bowl. Then top with various nuts, seeds, and other add-ons for added texture and taste. Enjoy eating it with a spoon.
• Popsicles: Make a fun variation of homemade popsicles by freezing the smoothie into popsicle molds.

Storing & Freezing

• Store. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh and served immediately. It serves two, so that’s just enough not to have any leftovers to store.
• Freeze. Definitely a freezable smoothie! This is a great option if you need to make it ahead of time and freeze for later. Make some healthy popsicles for the kids, or freeze them in ice cube trays for babies to enjoy. When you are ready to make the smoothie, blend the ice cubes with a bit of juice for a nice thick smoothie!
