What You Need
Our Thermomix Acai Bowls are made using just 5 ingredients!
Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.
- Acai Powder - you can buy acai powder from the health food section of any major supermarket or from any health food store. I use Nature's Way brand available at Coles.
- Frozen Berries - use whatever frozen berries you have on hand (or a combination!). Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are all great options! It's important to use frozen berries (not fresh).
- Coconut Water - or substitute with almond milk. Use less coconut water if you'd like your acai bowl to have a more sorbet-like texture.
- Honey
- Frozen Bananas - it's important to use frozen bananas (not fresh).

Absolutely! You can easily vary the types of frozen berries you use to make different flavours.
When you follow the recipe below, your acai bowl will have the texture of a smoothie. I followed the recipe exactly, but I froze my acai bowl for an hour or so before I took the photos (hence why it looks frozen!). I would allow this to sit at room temp for a few more minutes before serving.

Tasia says
Can I use the pure acia instead of the powder because I couldn’t find the powder anywhere. And the pure acia is frozen so ya
Lucy says
Hi Tasia, yes that should be fine!
Mackenzie says
Could I use regular milk or just plain water instead of coconut water or almond milk?
Lucy says
Hi there, I personally haven't used regular milk in this recipe, but I'd love to hear how it goes if you do try it!

Would this recipe still work in the thermomix if I halved it?
