FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Yes, but plain Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture without added sugars, allowing the acai and fruit flavors to shine. Flavored yogurt may make the bowl sweeter and alter the taste.

What if I can’t find frozen acai puree?

If frozen acai puree is unavailable, you can substitute with acai powder mixed with a little water or blend fresh berries for a similar fruity base, though the flavor will differ slightly.
