What You Need:

• 3/4 cup acai purée
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 2 bananas, divided
• 1/4 cup local honey, more for drizzling
• 1/2 cup organic granola
• 12 slices starfruit
• 1/2 cup poha berries
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

What You Do:

1. Blend purée, strawberries, blueberries, 1 banana, and honey in a blender on high speed. Pour into 4 small serving bowls.
2. Top each with even amounts of granola, starfuit, poha berries, strawberries, and banana. Drizzle to taste with honey and garnish with mint. Serves 4.

The recipe includes a Chef’s Note that reads:

Acai is a reddish, purple berry that comes from the acai palm tree which is native to Central and South America. High in antioxidants, the flavor is described as a cross between a rich blackberry or raspberry and a piece of dark chocolate. The sweet-tart poha berry is a relative of the tomatillo that looks like a cherry but tastes more like a tart tomato. Acai purée can be found in the freezer section of local health food stores.

Disney’s official ‘AMA’AMA description reads:

The restaurant is named after the ‘AMA‘AMA, a local mullet fish—and it’s inspired by the fishing settlements along the leeward coast of O‘ahu that date back to the 12th century.

‘AMA‘AMA is designed to resemble a beachside house. Its spacious dining room features a thatched roof, mosaic designs, a fountain and a reflecting pool.
