Notes

Acai (ah-sigh-EE): Açaí berries are the fruit of a tropical palm tree and are dark purple in color. In the United States it is sold as frozen "smoothie packets" (that's what you want for this recipe), freeze-dried, or as a powder. The flavor is a cross between a raspberry or blackberry and dark chocolate, without the sweetness.
Yield: This recipe makes 2 servings, 1 1/2 cups each (3 cups total). For 4 cups total, add a second cup of Greek yogurt. It won't affect the flavor or consistency in a noticeable way.
Storage: Store leftover smoothie bowl covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (without toppings).
