Ingredients
  

For the Acai Base:
  • 2 teaspoons acai berry powder
  • 1 cup cold water or coconut water
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey maple syrup, or a natural sweetener of your choice (adjust according to preference)
For the Strawberry Blend:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries sliced
  • 1 cup cold water or sparkling water for fizz

Method
 

Mix the Acai Base:
  1. In a glass, combine the acai berry powder with 1 cup of cold water (or coconut water). To dissolve the powder smoothly, you can use a small electric whisk, which will help eliminate lumps. Once mixed, pour the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any remaining lumps of acai powder. Add honey or your chosen sweetener and mix again until incorporated.
Prepare the Strawberry Blend:
  1. If using fresh strawberries, slice them and blend with 1-2 cups of cold water until smooth. If using frozen strawberries, blend them directly with water until you reach a desired consistency. Add sliced strawberries into the acai base and stir until everything is well combined.
Serve:
  1. Add ice cubes and if desired, top with sparkling water for a refreshing fizz.
Garnish:
  1. Add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Enjoy!
  1. Stir well before drinking and enjoy your refreshing and nutritious strawberry acai refresher!
