Keep reading to hear about all the benefits each ingredient provides -  

Plant-Based Milk – A little bit of plant-based milk goes a long way in this smoothie bowl! To get the perfectly creamy texture, start by adding a few tablespoons and gradually increasing until you reach your desired consistency.  

Frozen Banana – The base of this smoothie bowl is made from  SAMBAZON Açaí Superfruit along with frozen bananas. Using frozen banana helps provide a thick, creamy texture that creates the perfect base. Bananas are also a great source of potassium, antioxidants, and fiber. 

Coconut Cream – A bit of coconut cream lends this smoothie bowl that delicious, tropical flavor that makes you feel like you’re on a beach. Not to mention it’s also deliciously creamy and packed with healthy fats. Plus, it helps the frozen fruit blend without having to add too much additional liquid.  

Frozen Mango – Mango is the perfect addition to this bowl with a creamy, floral taste. As a source of magnesium and vitamins A and C, mangoes may aid the immune system and digestive system. Don’t have mangoes? You can also substitute peaches or pineapple to still achieve the tropical flavor.  

SAMBAZON Açaí Superfruit Pack - Not only does Açaí contain antioxidants, but it’s also one of the most versatile fruits! It goes well with just about everything and is especially delicious paired alongside coconut and mango for a light and refreshing warm weather meal. 

Plus, one of the best parts of this recipe? You can customize it to your needs. While it already includes antioxidants and healthy fats, you can also add in protein powder for an additional boost.  

And, not only will this smoothie bowl make you feel good, but it also does good. SAMBAZON Açaí is Fair Trade Certified as well as Certified Organic. Not to mention, their efforts also help protect the rainforest’s biodiversity, including endangered species.
