Practical notes

Here are some tips and questions answered on how to make an Acai smoothie.

How to store leftover smoothie?

Go ahead and make an extra smoothie, and then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give a good stir before you pour, as it can separate a bit.

Acai is a fruit known as a berry, that is grown on an Acai palm tree. Then it is harvested and sold as berries, powder, and of course frozen puree.

Kitchen notes

Add in items to consider

• Hemp seeds
• Flax seed
• Chia seeds
• Fruits of any kind – we love using frozen fruit, as it helps to chill and cream up the smoothie. But you can use fresh if you have fresh on hand.
• Kale or Spinach
• Etc.

You can store any leftover smoothie in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just stir well before you pour into a glass as it can separate. If you want it a bit sweeter in flavor add a little maple syrup or agave. We find the fruit naturally sweetens it nicely. If you want to thicken your smoothie, use more almond milk, or add extra fruit to thicken. You can use powder or frozen Acai, use 1-2 tablespoons of powder. We just recommend adding what you like in terms of flavor. Add in some protein powder to make this a Acai protein shake. We love the vanilla flavor with this smoothie, or do a flavorless one. Any brand you like works well.
