Tool Tip: I find that a secondhand typewriter or cookbook stand is a dandy tool to use in the kitchen for standing my iPad (or phone) on to follow the recipes here!

Açaí Berry Smoothie

1 cup your favorite plant milk (I used rice milk)
1 fresh banana, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon açaí berry freeze dried powder
1/2 cup plain coconut yogurt 

Optional garnishes: a sprinkle of açaí berry powder, coconut flakes, flax seeds, or granola

Prepare Açaí powder by mixing 1 tablespoon of the powder with 1 tablespoon of warm water into a paste. Blend the milk, yogurt and banana together in a blender until smooth. Add the açaí powder paste to the blender and mix again. Pour the mixture into a large glass, add a straw, garnish, if you wish and enjoy!
