I’ve been getting back into the swing of things in D.C., and part of that involves reviving my smoothie bowl game. This morning, I decided to make an açaí banana bowl, mainly because I liked how the banana slices looked around the edge.

I also wanted to use the honey lavender granola that I brought back from San Francisco, so I sprinkled that on top and added some goji berries.

When I was in California, I went into a smoothie bar to charge my phone. I watched an employee use this cool device to slice bananas. She put the whole banana in, squeezed the handles together and then perfect, round banana slices came out. I think I might invest in one of those soon.

Here’s a good song to play to drown out the noise of the blender.

Açaí Banana Smoothie Bowl (from me, to you)

1 banana
1 açaí smoothie pack
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
banana slices, granola, hemp seeds and goji berries for topping

Directions

Blend everything together in a blender on high. Top with the banana slices, granola (I really liked the honey lavender, but feel free to add any kind), hemp seeds and goji berries.
