I took a trip to my local Whole Foods because after some googling; everyone said that you couldn’t get the actual berry in the states, only in powder or frozen puree. I found the frozen puree in the frozen section at Whole Foods, and later found out they sold the powder at Vitamin Shoppe (this yields more product). It was $5 for a package of 4 acai frozen puree packets. Not bad considering one packet yields one bowl or smoothie. Below is the recipe I used to make my acai bowl.
GETTING STARTED:
First gather all the materials you would like to go in your bowl. Remember you can add anything to it in terms of fruit, but this time, I stuck the similar bowl I tasted at Nektar.INGREDIENTS:

- Sambazon – Acai Berry Unsweetened
- Kind Protein Granola
- Silk – Cashew Milk
- Honey
- Mando Fruit Blend – Unsweetened
- Roasted coconut
- Banana (not pictured)
- Blender
DIRECTIONS:
Use one packet of the Sambazon acai and run it under a little warm water to soften and make it easier to come out of it’s packaging. Then, add that to your blender. Measure 1/2 a cup of the cashew milk and add that to the blender as well. I used Cashew milk in this recipe, but you could also use juice, I recommend CranApple or any other non-dairy milk. The packaging also recommends not use milk, so stick to non-dairy. Add two hand fulls of the frozen fruit into the blender as well. Normally, I would only add half a frozen banana to the mix, but I didn’t have any frozen so I added the frozen fruit. Then add honey for some sweetness. The honey is more to your liking. I added about a tablespoon. And blend. If you see that your blender is having a hard time blending, shake around or and small splash of milk or liquid. You really want to have a thick blend, similar to a Jamba Juice shake.
