I love starting my morning with smoothies and acai bowls. Of course, not all smoothie bowls are created equal. Most use bananas as a base, which are notoriously not keto-friendly.

I came up with a low-carb version that gives this acai bowl recipe a thick, creamy consistency with a fraction of the carbs.

Why I love this recipe

• Ready in minutes. Just give it a blend and add your toppings. That’s all there is to this.
• Healthy. Along with being gluten-free, dairy-free, and naturally sweetened, this smoothie bowl is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
• Easy to customize. I’m partial to a berry smoothie bowl, but there’s plenty of room to customize this recipe to suit your preferences or maybe save you a trip to the store.

Ingredients needed

• Acai puree. Unsweetened acai puree. They usually come in 100 gram/4-ounce packages.
• Coconut milk. Canned coconut milk. For a richer flavor, you can use coconut cream.
• Yogurt. Unsweetened coconut or plain yogurt. Opt for ones that have lower carbs, like keto yogurt.
• Strawberries. Frozen strawberries. You can use any frozen low carb berries or fruit of choice.
• Toppings of choice. All your favorite low carb toppings, like keto granola, keto cereal, shredded coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, or even sugar free chocolate chips.

Arman’s recipe tips

• Use frozen fruit. My #1 tip for making smoothie bowls is to use frozen and NOT fresh fruit. Frozen fruit will help give our smoothie bowl a thicker texture and keep its shape.
• Don’t overblend the smoothie. Otherwise, it’ll become too thin and lose its creaminess.
• Make a richer smoothie. Swap the milk with heavy cream or canned coconut cream.
• Adjust the sweetness. This smoothie bowl is not overly sweet, so taste it as you blend and add a few drops of stevia or keto honey if it needs more sweetness.
• Add protein. Fold in a scoop of protein powder, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, or ½ cup of Greek yogurt.

Storage instructions

To store: Smoothie bowls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours. The smoothie will become less thick but will still be perfectly drinkable.

To freeze: You can freeze portions of the smoothie in shallow containers and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, add the frozen smoothie pieces into a blender with a splash of milk and blend until smooth.
