Start by running the frozen acai puree packets under warm water for about 10-15 seconds. This will help slightly soften them for easier blending.
In a high-speed blender, combine the slightly thawed acai puree, unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, and frozen mixed berries.
Add the chia seeds and pure maple syrup to the blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Check the consistency of the blend. It should be thick but spoonable. If it's too thick, add a little more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time.
Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the acai mixture into two bowls.
Top with your favorite low-sodium toppings like fresh fruit, unsalted nuts, seeds, or toasted coconut flakes.
