Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl



INGREDIENTS
· 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

· 1 cup frozen mixed berries (I use a mix of blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)

· 1 cup baby spinach

· 1 tbsp golden flaxseeds

· 2 tsp acai powder

· 1 1/2 frozen bananas (add more for an extra thick texture)

Instructions
· Add the almond milk, berries, baby spinach and flaxseeds to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. You may have to stop and give it a mix to get it going until it starts to blend properly. 

· Add the frozen banana to the blender and pulse until just smooth. Because of how thick it is, you will have to stop to give it a mix a few times to get it moving again. 

· Pour the smoothie into a bowl, and top with whichever toppings you like.
