🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: toasted rice cereal

Oats are a healthier option that can also add texture.

honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: maple syrup

Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index.

almond milk

🥗Healthier: oat milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Oat milk is creamier and can be made at home easily.

Start with frozen acai base, thaw for 30 minutes to an hour to soften.

Blend the thawed acai base until thick, about the consistency of barely falling off a spoon.

Taste the mixture and add sweeteners if desired, such as honey and stevia, then blend again.

Pour the acai mixture into jars for the Ninja Creamy and a separate container for those without a Ninja Creamy.

Level the jars for the Ninja Creamy and freeze them.

Freeze the separate container as well.

After 24 hours, remove the jar from the freezer for the Ninja Creamy, take off the top, and place it in the canister.

Lock the canister in place and select the sorbet setting on the Ninja Creamy, then start it.

Once done, release the canister and remove the top to check the consistency of the acai base.

Scoop the acai base into a bowl and top with Nutella, strawberries, coconut, and blueberries.
