Tips
- When making smoothies, I recommend adding the liquids to the blender first. Then add in powders, followed by solids.
- If you are not using frozen Acai packs, you may mix this smoothie with an immersion blender if you wish.
Variations for Acai Berry Smoothies
- Substitute raspberries or blueberries for the strawberries.
- Add in a cup of spinach or kale for an additional punch of nutrition. (You will want to use a high-speed blender for this option.)
- Use fresh squeezed orange juice in place of the milk.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add in a tablespoon of Swerve or a few soaked dates.
- For extra protein add in protein powder of vanilla yogurt.
- Make this nut-free by using organic soy milk or other tolerated milk of choice.
