History
In the Amazon, açaí is traditionally eaten unfrozen and unblended with manioc flour or tapioca, beside fried fish or charque. In the Northeast and South it is blended with frozen fruit, guaraná and cereals into the cold cream popular in Rio, sold at most beach kiosks and juice bars. Its national and export rise began in the 1990s, with demand for healthier foods, and Pará still supplies about 85 percent of Brazil's crop.

Ingredients
- 400g frozen unsweetened açaí pulp
- 1 frozen banana
- 100ml guaraná soda or water
- Granola, to serve
- 1 banana, sliced, to serve
- Honey or condensed milk, optional
Method
- Break the frozen açaí pulp into pieces and put them in a blender with the frozen banana.
- Add the guaraná and blend in short bursts, scraping down the sides, until thick and smooth like soft ice cream.
- Spoon into two bowls.
- Top with granola and sliced banana, and a drizzle of honey if you like.
- Eat at once, before it melts.
Tip from the editors. Use the least liquid that lets the blender turn; too much guaraná makes a drink rather than a spoonable bowl.
