I'm sure by now you've realised that I'm a big fan of Thermomix 'nice-cream'. If you haven't yet tried our Mocha, Choc/Peanut and Choc/Berry versions, then you really, really MUST! They're the yummiest things ever and taste just like dessert... except you can eat them at breakfast too.
Anyway, today I have a recipe for you that's a little bit similar, just as delicious and super good for you! It's my favourite Healthy Thermomix Acai Bowl. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love acai bowls. I love that they're really versatile and you can add any toppings you like.
I generally like to add a combination of fresh berries and coconut, but you can go as crazy as you like. You can also buy acai powder from any supermarket or healthy food shop. It's a bit pricey, but one bag lasts for ages!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons acai powder
- 2 cups frozen berries
- 2 frozen bananas
- 200 g coconut water (or alternatively you can use almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Optional toppings:
- - fresh berries
- - sliced banana
- - chia seeds
- - coconut flakes
- - goji berries
- - honey
- - fresh cut fruit (pineapple, mango etc)
- - muesli
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (except for toppings) into the TM bowl.
- Blend on Speed 8 for 20 seconds.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat for a further 30 seconds (using the spatula to help).
- Serve immediately.
- *Add more or less coconut water depending on whether you want your acai bowl to be more like a smoothie or a sorbet.
- Top with your chosen toppings.

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!
Georgie says
Would this recipe still work in the thermomix if I halved it?
Lucy says
That should be fine!
