Start by adding about half a cup of frozen raspberries into the Vitamix.

Add about half a cup of frozen mango to the blender.

Next, add a full cup of acai cubes.

Include one frozen banana for creaminess.

Pour in about a quarter cup of almond milk (or any plant-based milk).

Use a tamper to help blend the ingredients on low speed.

Scrape the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything blends well.

Continue blending until the mixture becomes creamy, adding another frozen banana if needed.

Add about an eighth of a cup more almond milk for desired consistency.

Blend until the texture is nice and thick, then scoop it into a bowl.

Top the acai mixture with sliced banana, Bob's Red Mill muesli, frozen blueberries, and pumpkin seeds.
