Thaw the acai pack in a bowl of warm water for about 5 minutes or run it under hot water in the sink.

Snip off the top of the acai pack and add it to the blender.

Peel and cut the frozen banana in half before freezing, then add one half to the blender.

Pour a small amount of almond milk into the blender (about 2 seconds of pouring).

Blend on low (setting 2 or 3) until combined to a smooth consistency.

If desired, add additional berries (like strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries) to the blender and blend again.

Check the consistency; if it's too runny, add more frozen banana or reduce the liquid.

Pour the blended acai mixture into a bowl.

Top with sliced strawberries, banana, buckwheat groats, and shredded coconut as desired.
