What you need:
For the Raw Granola:
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup coconut flakes
3 cups goji berries
1 cup cacao nibs
1 cup flaxseed meal
1 tablespoon vanilla powder
3 tablespoons water
For the Berry-Chia Jam:
2 cups raspberries
4 tablespoons coconut nectar
4 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon vanilla powder
2 tablespoons white chia seeds
For the açaí bowl:
2 (7-ounce) packets of frozen açaí berries
2 cups frozen chopped bananas
4 tablespoons raw cacao powder
4 large medjool dates, pitted
4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 cup coconut milk
To serve:
1 banana, sliced
1 cup Raw Granola
4 tablespoons cacao nibs
4 tablespoons peanut butter
4 tablespoons Berry-Chia Jam
What you do:
- For the Raw Granola, in a mixing bowl, toss together ingredients until well combined, adding water in small amounts as needed if mixture is too dry. Spread mixture onto dehydrator trays lined with non-stick sheets. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 12 hours. Remove non-stick sheets and flip granola over, place on mesh trays, and dehydrate for another 6 hours. Once set, break into small clusters and store in a sealed conatiner.
- For the Berry-Chia Jam, into a blender, add all ingredient except chia seeds, and blend until smooth. Pour into a clean, airtight jar and stir in chia seeds until the seeds have absorbed the liquefied and expanded to create a jam-like consistency. Seal jar and store in refrigerator.
- For the bowl, into a blender, add all ingredients and blend on high until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
- To serve, divide mixture among four bowls. Arrange banana slices over each, then sprinkle with the Raw Granola. Top with 1 tablespoon each of the cacao nibs, peanut butter, and Berry-Chia Jam. Serve immediately.
