FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Frozen berries help achieve the thick, smoothie-like consistency typical of açaí bowls, but you can use fresh berries if you add more ice to maintain thickness.

Where can I find açaí powder?

Açaí powder is available at health food stores, specialty grocery stores, or online retailers. Look for high-quality, pure açaí powder for the best flavor and nutrition.
