Recipe tips
It’s often the small details that make the biggest impact in the kitchen, so we’re sharing the tips we rely on when cooking and creating recipes
Ripe bananas are key to getting the perfect base. They not only add natural sweetness, but they also contribute to a creamy, smooth texture. Ripe bananas typically have bright yellow skin that is free of green hues. They may also have small brown spots or speckles, which are sugars that have developed as the banana ripens. The texture of a ripe banana is soft but not mushy, and it should peel easily.
Using frozen berries instead of fresh ones in your base is a game-changer. They instantly chill your açai bowl, helping to create a consistency reminiscent of soft-serve ice cream. Moreover, you can stock up on them and have them ready in your freezer whenever the açai craving strikes.
