Ingredients
Acai smoothie blend
- 1 packet frozen acai berry puree (unsweetened)
- ¾ cup frozen berries of choice I used frozen mix of blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries
- ½ fresh or frozen banana (optional)
- 1 tablespoon peanut peanut butter or use almond butter
- 1 pinch cinnamon use pumpkin spice if desired
- ½ cup non-dairy milk I used cashew milk
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar optional
Oat-Nut Crumble
- ¼ cup dry oats gluten-free
- ¼ cup walnuts or use almonds
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter OPTIONAL; OMIT IF DESIRED
- 1 pinch salt OMIT if using vegan butter
Garnish (optional ingredients--use your own combo if desired)
- cocao nibs
- sliced banana

- cinnamon
- agave nectar
- peanut butter
Instructions
- Smear a layer of peanut or almond butter around the sides of a bowl. Set aside.
- Next, blend all "Acai Smoothie Blend" ingredients together. You want the result to be thick. If ingredients are not blending completely because of smoothie "thickness", add a small amount and blend until smooth, thick and creamy.
- Add smoothie blend to peanut butter-smeared bowl and set aside in freezer.
- Now, (after rinsing blender cup clean) add all oat-nut crumble ingredients to blender and pulse until it looks like moist chunky granola.
- Finally, complete the construction for your Peanut Butter Acai Bowl! Scoop oat-crumble on top of smoothie blend (save some for the garnish). Arrange sliced banana, strawberries and/or other desired fruits and top with optional cocao nibs, the rest of the oat-nut crumble, a small dollop of peanut butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of agave.
- Enjoy!
