Açaí smoothie with banana and almonds

Especially recommended after a workout!

A creamy açaí smoothie with banana and almond drink is a quick fruity snack, perfect for breakfast or a refreshing break.

Did you know? After a hard workout your body produces more free radicals, and antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress and support the body's natural recovery. That's why an açaí smoothie is a great, refreshing snack after exercise.

Ingredients

• ½ fresh banana
• 250 ml almond drink
• 100 g frozen açaí fruit purée
• flaked almonds to garnish

Method

1. Hold the frozen açaí pack under lukewarm running water for a few moments so the purée comes away from the packaging more easily.
2. Open the pack and tip the purée into the blender.
3. Add the almond drink and half a fresh banana.
4. Blend at medium or low speed until smooth.
5. Then blend for about 20 more seconds at the highest speed so the smoothie turns creamy and airy.
6. Serve in a glass and garnish with flaked almonds.
