Start your day with a beautiful acai-Greek yogurt bowl topped with homemade granola, fresh fruit and coconut flakes. Chock-full of oats, nuts, seeds, and cocoa, this chocolatey granola is easy to prepare and gives a nice crunch to the creamy smoothie base and soft berries and banana. Leftover granola can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you prefer the texture of dry chia seeds, feel free to skip the step of hydrating them and sprinkle them over the smoothie base instead. Look for unsweetened acai puree at your supermarket in the freezer section beside the other packages of frozen fruit.
