The authentic Brazilian acai bowl base from Rio's juice bars, thicker than a smoothie and meant to be eaten with a spoon and toppings.

Break frozen acai into pieces and add to a high-powered blender.
Add frozen banana, frozen berries, and guarana syrup.
Blend using a tamper, keeping the mixture as thick as possible.
Use minimal liquid, the authentic version is almost like sorbet.
Pour into a bowl and top with sliced banana and granola.
In Brazil, this is breakfast, post-beach snack, and dessert all in one.
