Nothing beats the summer heat like a refreshing açaí bowl!  Blended with frozen tropical fruit, this smoothie bowl is the perfect snack to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.  Make sure to freeze all your fruit the night before to get the perfect soft serve consistency and go wild with the toppings! 

This recipe makes 2-3 servings.

Instructions:

1. Place all the ingredients except the toppings in a high-powered blender.
