Difficulty Level: Easy
Servings: 2 large bowls
Ingredients:
For the Acai Berry Purée:
– 1 cup frozen acai pulp (thawed)
– ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk beverage
– 1 ripe medium-sized banana (about 1/2 cup), sliced
– 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup), optional
For the Guava Puree:
– 1 medium guava (ripe but firm), cored and chopped
– 1/2 cup water
For the Topping:
– 1/2 cup rolled oats or gluten-free oatmeal
– 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
– 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
– 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Acai Berry Puree:
Combine all the ingredients in a high-powered blender and puree until smooth. You may need to stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Step 2: Make the Guava Puree:
Add the guava and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the guava breaks down and becomes a thick paste, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Step 3: Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the acai purée evenly between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with about 1/4 cup of the guava puree.
Step 4: Add the Toppings:
Sprinkle the desired amount of toppings (oats, pepitas, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and sea salt) on top of each bowl.
Note: For a vegan option, use unsweetened plant-based milk instead of the coconut milk and skip the honey.
