The Acai berry smoothie drink is best served ice cold so you will need to ensure you freeze some of the ingredients beforehand and that you also have some ice to hand. For this recipe you will need:
• 10 oz water (chilled with ice)
• ¼ cup almonds
• 1 banana (frozen)
• 100g frozen pure Acai berry juice
• 3 teaspoons of Flax seed oil
• 2 teaspoons of honey (according to taste)
• 1 teaspoon additional powders such as protein powder, according to taste
To freeze the banana, peel it and then wrap it in cling film before placing it in the freezer. Pre-mix the ice cold water and the almonds in the blender on high power. Then you can add the rest of the ingredients, including the acai berry juice and blend on full power until smooth. If your blender can’t handle frozen foods you can try chilling them instead and using almond milk instead of almonds and ice cold water. Add extra ice cubes when the drink is complete to keep the temperature down. You can change this recipe as you see fit to include extra or less honey depending on how sweet you want your acai berry smoothie to taste. A good tip is to measure out the flax seed oil before the honey to stop the honey sticking to the spoon.
