Let’s dive into how you can make your own Dole Açaí Bowl — creamy, fruity, and topped with your favorites!

🛒 Ingredients

For the Açaí Base:

• 1 packet frozen Dole Açaí puree (unsweetened or pre-sweetened, based on preference)
• 1 frozen banana (for creaminess)
• 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 1/4 cup Dole pineapple juice (or any juice of choice – orange, apple, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Toppings (customize to your taste!):

• Fresh fruits: banana slices, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi
• Dole pineapple chunks
• Granola
• Chia seeds or flax seeds
• Coconut flakes
• A drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter
• Honey or agave syrup (for topping)

🍓 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Açaí Base

1. Run the Dole açaí packet under warm water for a few seconds to slightly soften it, making it easier to blend.
2. In a high-speed blender, add:
   • The açaí packet
   • Frozen banana
   • Frozen berries
   • Pineapple juice (start with 1/4 cup – add more only if needed to blend)
   • Optional: sweetener like honey or agave
3. Blend on low, using a tamper (if your blender has one), and gradually increase speed until smooth and thick like sorbet. The key is to keep it thick – not runny like a smoothie.

📝 Tip: If your blender is struggling, add a bit more juice – but go slow to avoid a soupy consistency.

Step 2: Assemble the Bowl

1. Pour the blended açaí mixture into a bowl.
2. Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
3. Add your toppings in rows or sections – get creative with colors and textures!
4. Drizzle with nut butter or honey for an extra treat.

🥥 Serving Suggestions

• Serve immediately while cold and firm.
• Pair with a glass of cold coconut water or green tea for a complete wellness breakfast.
• Make mini versions for kids using smaller bowls and fun toppings like chocolate chips or dried fruits.
