Acai bowl

Test Kitchen tips for making the perfect acai bowl:

• Acai bowls are best enjoyed as soon as they're made, but we often prepare the toppings in advance and keep them in the fridge so breakfast comes together in just a few minutes.
• You can vary the toppings on my acai bowl depending on the season – fresh berries, peaches or tropical fruits are especially lovely in summer for a burst of natural sweetness and colour.
• For a little extra protein, try blending in a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or nut butter. Both make the bowl even more satisfying while keeping it wonderfully creamy.
• Frozen fruit to create a thick, spoonable texture. If the mixture is too firm to blend, I add just a splash of milk or juice, taking care not to thin it too much.
