Free Blueberry Acai Smoothie Recipe

This delicious fruit smoothie is full of nutrient powerhouse ingredients, like acai and blueberries. Acai berries are known as a “superfruit” for their high antioxidant content. Acai berries are processed into a pulp. You can find frozen single-serve packets in the frozen section of some grocery stores. If you can not find acai, feel free to substitute some raspberries or blackberries in this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen acai packet, thawed
• 1/2 cup ice, or more to taste
• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (substitute unsweetened coconut, macadamia nut, or hemp milk)
• 1/4 cup blueberries
• 2 tsp coconut oil or MCT oil
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 5-10 drops liquid stevia (or another keto sweetener, to taste)
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Optional, for garnish: fresh mint leaves, blueberries

Directions:

1. Thaw the acai packet by submerging it in a bowl of warm water. Let it sit a few minutes until you can easily break it up.
2. Add the acai and remaining ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
3. Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh mint and a few blueberries, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

• If you’re not averse to nuts, feel free to add a tbsp of almond butter or another keto-friendly nut butter to this smoothie.
• Feel free to adjust the MCT or coconut oil to your tolerance level. If you’re just starting out, start with just a teaspoon or two.
• Can’t find acai? Try subbing about 1/3 cup raspberries or blackberries instead.
