INGREDIENTS:
1½ cups frozen blueberries, partially thawed
¼ cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp agave nectar
2 Tbsp acai Powder
touch of stevia if desired
2 Tbsp water + more if needed to blend

DIRECTIONS:
Mix: Combine all ingredients in a food processor, and puree until mostly smooth.
Freeze: Transfer mixture to a bowl and freeze, stirring occasionally, until partially frozen (about 4 hours).
Puree: Return semi frozen mixture to food processor and puree to form a smooth but still frozen consistency.  Serve immediately and enjoy.
