Directions
Prepare the granola first so it can cool while you blend the açaí base. Assemble the bowl just before serving for maximum freshness and crunch. For a nut-free option, swap Brazil nuts for sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed. You can use store-bought açaí packets found in the frozen section of most supermarkets or health food stores.
