About this dish
Frozen acai blended with banana, blueberries, and Greek yogurt turns into a thick, deep purple base like sorbet, with an earthy, almost cocoa-like note behind the berry flavor.

The acai palm grows in the Amazon basin, and the bowl format topped with granola, fruit, and honey spread from Rio de Janeiro surf culture in the 1980s. The contrast between cold base and crunchy granola fades fast, so it goes to the table right away.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Slice one banana into 2 cm rounds and keep it aside for topping.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into bite-size pieces so they can be placed quickly before the cold base starts softening.
- 2
Keep the 200 g frozen acai puree firm rather than melted.
Cut the remaining banana into chunks for the blender, which helps the blades catch without adding milk, juice, or extra liquid.
- 3
Add the acai, banana, 80 g blueberries, and 120 g Greek yogurt to the blender.
Start on low speed, stop often, and press the mixture down with a spatula so the motor is not forced.
- 4
Stop blending when the color is evenly deep purple and the base clings thickly to a spoon.
Do not keep blending once it loosens, because a thin base makes the toppings sink.
- 5
Transfer the cold base to bowls immediately and level it gently with the back of a spoon.
Avoid pressing hard, since compacting it removes air and makes the texture heavy.
- 6
Arrange the banana and strawberries on top, then scatter 80 g granola evenly and drizzle 1 tablespoon honey in a thin stream.
Serve immediately while the granola is still crisp against the cold base.
