I first had açaí na tigela at a small Brazilian cafe in Everett, Massachusetts. It was a delightful experience. I'd had açaí juice before, but I wasn't expecting its frozen, blended form to be so incredibly tasty. The crunch of the granola adds a surprisingly complementary texture to the refreshingly icy-but-smooth consistency of the fruit. The result is something an exotic version of a yogurt parfait. Serve for breakfast or as a dessert.
Ingredients
4 packs of frozen açaí pulp
1 frozen banana
a handful of frozen strawberries (optional)
a splash of orange juice (or any tropical juice)
For the topping
chocolate coconut almond granola (or whatever kind you like)
1 banana, sliced
a few strawberries, sliced (optional)
honey
Directions
Cut each açaí pack in half. Blend the pulp with the frozen bananas, strawberries, and juice until the mixture is smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly into 2 bowls and top each serving with granola, half of a sliced banana, a generous drizzle of honey, and fresh strawberries if desired.
(serves 2)
