Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet (100 g) frozen unsweetened açaí puree
  • 1 frozen ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries), frozen or fresh
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/coconut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Homemade granola:
  • 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Fresh dragon fruit, peeled and sliced
  • Optional toppings: sliced kiwi, chia seeds, shredded coconut flakes, cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, honey, and ground cinnamon. Toss until honey coats the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Spread granola mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 8 minutes to ensure even toasting, until golden brown and fragrant.
  3. Remove granola from oven and let cool completely on the pan. It will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
  4. In a high-speed blender, combine frozen açaí puree, frozen banana, mixed berries, and almond milk. Blend on high until smooth and thick. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if mixture is too thick.
  5. Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend briefly again to mix.
  6. Pour smoothie into a bowl. Top with a generous handful of homemade granola, fresh dragon fruit slices, and any additional toppings like kiwi, chia seeds, or coconut flakes.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

For extra creaminess, freeze banana chunks a day ahead. Let açaí packets thaw 5 minutes if too hard but avoid mushiness. Stir granola halfway through baking to prevent burning. Store granola airtight up to two weeks or freeze for longer. Do not assemble bowl ahead to avoid soggy toppings. Use maple syrup instead of honey for vegan version. Substitute dragon fruit with kiwi or mango if unavailable.
