What's in it
Built on Açaí.
The açaí base

Our signature. Antioxidant-rich Brazilian berries blended thick — deep, rich, and naturally sweet.
Our açaíbase is Bonita's own recipe — blended for us by a local Illinois production kitchen from raw frozen pulp, then shipped frozen to every shop. No off-the-shelf packets.

4 layers on top.
- strawberry
- pineapple
- peanut butter
- honey

- Is the Mando gluten-free?
