This Chocolate Acai Smoothie is creamy, decadent, and so easy to make! Just 7 ingredients and 5 minutes! It's vegan, gluten-free, and delicious! Perfect served as a light breakfast or a refreshing snack.

  • Total Time5 minutes
  • Yield1 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk)
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp acai powder
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional; unflavored, vanilla, or chocolate)
  • 1 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 Medjool date, pitted (or your favorite sweetener)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Into a high-speed blender, add milk, cacao powder, acai powder, ground cinnamon, protein powder, frozen banana, blueberries, raspberries, a pitted Medjool date, and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend on high until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Serve immediately in a tall glass and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

Storing: The smoothie is best enjoyed right away, but if needed, you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Acai bowl with toppings: If you want to serve it in a bowl, only add ½ cup of milk and 2 frozen bananas instead of just 1 ½. You’ll need to use your blender’s tamper to help the smoothie blend because it will be much thicker.

The nutritional values shown below are only an estimate, and they are calculated without any protein powder because each brand is different. My go to is Sprout Living Protein. I like their unflavored one.
