  2. 2 bananas
  3. 1 cup pomegranate juice
  4. 1 cup frozen raspberries
  5. 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  1. In a blender, combine one 3.5-ounce package frozen unsweetened açai puree with 2 bananas, 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1 cup pomegranate juice and 1 tablespoon agave nectar and blend at high speed until smooth. Serve right away.
