This smoothie contains a mix of acai, blueberry, and banana as well as stick-to-the-ribs peanut butter and omega-3 fatty acid-containing chia seeds.

Acai berries are the fruit of a palm mainly from South and Central America. The berry contains both anthocyanins and flavonoids, both powerful antioxidants that may protect the body from environmental stressors and reduce the effects of free radicals, which may ultimately lower the risk for heart disease and cancer.

Blend up this perfect, nutrient-rich snack kids and adults will love, that tastes similar to a peanut butter and jam sandwich in smoothie form. Blend with a glug of calcium and protein-rich low-fat milk and sip with a colorful straw.

Ingredients

1/2 medium banana, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces and frozen
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 packet unsweetened acai
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp chia seeds
3/4 cup low-fat milk

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smoothie. Add a straw and serve.

Variations and Substitutions

Turn this into an "acai bowl." Use only half a cup of milk for a thicker consistency, then pour the mixture into a bowl. Top with additional sliced bananas, blueberries, and chia seeds.
Add your favorite toppings. a few pinches of unsweetened coconut flakes, antioxidant-rich goji berries, cacao nibs, or homemade granola.
Substitute pomegranate juice for acai if it's easier to find in your grocery store.
Substitute another nut or seed butter if you need an allergy-friendly alternative.
Substitute plant-based milk if you need this recipe to be dairy-free.
Replace blueberries with any berry you have on hand.

Cooking and Serving Tips

Make this smoothie ahead, pour it into a to-go cup or mason jar, and store it in the refrigerator overnight for the following day.
Acai puree is often found in airtight packages in the grocery store's freezer section. Choose the unsweetened versions so that you can add your own optional sweetener to taste.
