 Hey hey, Lenya life is no joke today. It's a work day but we're gonna pretend it's the weekend. All right we're making acai bowls this morning. This is something we make every weekend. Acai blueberries, strawberries, all the toppings every weekend. It's true every weekend for at least the last year we've made acai bowls because well just because you can't go out to special breakfast, sit in a restaurant, have brunch, it doesn't mean you can't have a special breakfast and so we're gonna show you how to make acai bowls using the recipe we've perfected and hopefully after you see how easy they are and how fun they are to top and eat you leave this video inspired to make acai bowls part of your weekend routine. All right here's how you do it. Start with one and a half cups of milk. This is almond milk. One cup or 150 grams of frozen blueberries. One cup or 150 grams of frozen strawberries and one frozen banana. That's about 125 grams. One tablespoon of flax seed. We'll add one acai packet. There's a trick to opening these. Here's the acai trick. So most acais sold in packets. This is from Trader Joe's. The best way we've dealt with not making a huge mess is running hot water over it until you can crack it twice. All right I've got it cracked twice and then I kind of scooch it all to the bottom. Cut it over the sink because acai stains really bad for the sink. All right and then push from the top like a push pop right one directly into the garden. We'll put the top on and start on the lowest speed your Vitamix can go and quickly go to the highest speed it can go and use the tamper to gently push the ingredients down into the blade. Remember the tamper will never touch the blade assuming the top is on and if you're on the highest speed your Vitamix can go. It's not going to hurt your machine. Your machine is meant to do this. We're going to blend for about 45 seconds just past a like ice cream sorbet but before it turns into a pourable smoothie and while we're finishing I just want to pop in to tell you that this recipe is super easy to memorize. It's pretty much one of everything and one and a half cups of milk so you get it. All right now for the fun part. Have your toppings ready because thyme is of the essence here. The acai will melt and get to runny pretty quickly and anything goes but we usually do straight lines of granola, chia seeds and dried coconut and then usually a drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter. Fresh fruit is also great. Really any nuts or seeds or fruit. Don't be intimidated by fancy Instagrammer's acai bowls how pretty they are, how perfect they look. Prettiness is not required especially for kids bowls. Handfuls dumped in the middle is a okay. Guys don't just watch this video don't just try this recipe once. Memorize the recipe.
