Acai berries are purple berries, the fruit of a palm tree native to Central and South America. They are rich in antioxidants (anthocyanins) and omega-3 fatty acids.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Lightly crush the frozen acai berries by tapping the sealed bags on the counter or using a mallet. Blend the berries in a blender with 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup blueberries, and honey until the consistency of a thick smoothie—stop the blender as needed to stir and mash the mixture. Transfer to a deep bowl.
Step 2
• Slice the remaining 1/2 banana. Arrange the banana, remaining 1/4 cup blueberries, granola, pomegranate seeds, and coconut flakes in neat rows or piles over the smoothie.
