Instructions
1. Before opening your acai pack, run pack under water for 5 seconds to thaw and break the frozen pulp into smaller pieces
2. Prepare the acai purée by adding spinach, kale, banana, acai pulp, mango and a splash of milk to a blender (add to blender in that order since adding softer ingredients first will make it easier on your blender blades).
3. Blend on low until larger chunks are broken down, then gradually increase speed, adding a splash of milk at a time. Stop to scrape down sides of blender if needed.
4. When ingredients have mostly come together and all of milk has been added, blend on high for 15 to 20 seconds.
5. Pour acai purée into a bowl and add toppings. Drizzle with honey if desired.
