What it is
This is a frozen puree made from organic blueberries and acai berries. It comes in a convenient pouch, ready to be blended into smoothies or used in other recipes. The combination of blueberries and acai offers a deep, rich flavor profile. Acai berries are known for their unique taste, often described as a mix of berries and chocolate. The puree is unsweetened, allowing for flexibility in how it is used.

To use, simply thaw the pouch slightly at room temperature or under cool running water. Once softened, cut open the pouch and empty the contents into a blender. Combine with other fruits, liquids like almond milk or yogurt, and any desired sweeteners or boosters. Blend until smooth and creamy. This puree can also be incorporated into homemade ice cream recipes or used to create a vibrant fruit topping for pancakes or waffles.

How to keep the rest
Keep the unopened pouches frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, it is best to use the puree immediately. If you do not use the entire pouch at once after thawing, store any remaining puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not refreeze thawed puree.
