Why shelf-stable mix changes the math
Frozen açaí demands freezer trucks, freezer warehouses and freezer space in-store. The mix removes all three: it ships dry, stores on a shelf and becomes soft serve on demand. For operations without frozen logistics — or menus adding açaí as one item among many — it is the lowest-friction way to serve real açaí.
Yield — what one 1 kg pouch actually makes
One pouch is engineered around a single gallon of water, so there is nothing to weigh or calculate on the line:
| One 1 kg (2.2 lb) pouch + 1 gallon (4 L) water | ≈ 4.5 L (1.2 gal) of finished açaí soft serve |
| Servings at 150 ml (5 oz) | ≈ 30 per pouch |
| Servings at 100 ml (3.4 oz) | ≈ 45 per pouch |
| Blended bowls at 100 g mix each | ≈ 10 bowls per pouch |
| Açaí juice | 1 kg in 1.5 gallons over ice |
| Prep time | 2 minutes of work + 20 minutes resting |
| Storage before mixing | Shelf-stable — no freezer, no refrigeration, 18 months |
Ask us for a cost-per-serving comparison against your current açaí base — we quote the mix and the frozen 3-gallon tub side by side so you can see both.
Who actually makes the mix you buy
This is the question that separates the suppliers in this category, and almost nobody answers it on their own site.
| Vibe Açaí America | Our group owns the açaí farm in Pará, owns the FSSC 22000-certified, FDA-registered plant, owns the FSVP import and holds the US inventory. The powder and the frozen sorbet come from the same fruit and the same supply chain, so the flavor matches across both formats on one menu. |
| Most açaí brands | Marketing and distribution companies that buy finished product from third-party plants in Brazil — often a different plant for the powder than for the frozen. Every layer between the farm and your dock is a margin you pay for, and a variable you cannot audit. |
That is why a factory-direct price here is not a discount: there is simply no importer, broker or white-label factory margin inside the chain. And it is why we can private label, adjust the formula and put a batch COA in your hands for every lot — those are manufacturer decisions, not reseller decisions.
Which machines it runs in
The mix is hydrated before it ever touches the machine, so it behaves like a standard non-dairy soft serve base. It runs in gravity-fed and pressurized floor and countertop machines alike — including Taylor, Spaceman, Carpigiani, Stoelting, Electro Freeze and Donper equipment. No machine modification, no special hopper, no dedicated line.
| Machine types | Gravity-fed or pressurized; floor or countertop soft serve freezers |
| Tested/used with | Taylor · Spaceman · Carpigiani · Stoelting · Electro Freeze · Donper |
| Mix consistency | Non-dairy, pourable after 20 min hydration — same handling as a standard soft serve mix |
| Overrun | Set as you would for sorbet/non-dairy; no machine modification needed |
| Cleaning | Standard cleaning cycle — no special sanitation protocol |
| Also works without a machine | Blended bowls (100 g mix + 300 g ice + 50 ml water) and açaí juice (1 kg in 1.5 gal over ice) |

Dilution, overrun and cost per serving
The three numbers an operator actually needs before putting açaí on a machine:
| Dilution ratio | 1 kg (2.2 lb) of mix to 1 US gallon (3.79 L / ≈ 8.3 lb) of water — roughly 1 part mix to 4 parts water by weight. Engineered around the gallon so nothing is weighed on the line. |
| Hydration | Whisk until fully dissolved, then rest 20 minutes before the mix goes into the hopper. |
| Overrun | Run it as you would a non-dairy sorbet base — typically in the 25–40% range on a standard machine. Lower overrun gives the denser, spoonable texture açaí bowl customers expect; higher overrun stretches yield and gives a lighter cone. No machine modification either way. |
| Finished volume | ≈ 4.5 L (1.2 gal) per pouch before overrun is counted. |
| Cost per serving | Divide your delivered cost per pouch by the servings it yields: ≈ 30 servings at 150 ml (5 oz), ≈ 45 at 100 ml (3.4 oz), or ≈ 10 blended bowls at 100 g of mix. Ask us to run this for your volume — we quote the mix and the frozen tub side by side so the comparison is landed cost per serving, not price per unit. |
| Water | Filtered, room temperature. Cold water slows hydration; hot water is not needed. |

Same group, same açaí
Vibe Açaí is not a reseller brand: the same group grows the açaí on the largest private açaí farm in Brazil (Açaí Amazonas, Pará — planted since 2004), freezes and processes it in its own FSSC 22000-certified, FDA-registered plant, and imports and distributes it in the US through Vibe Acai America LLC under a documented FSVP program. One owner from seed to pallet — no trading companies, no white-label factories, no middleman margin. That vertical structure is why the wholesale price is competitive without touching quality.
The mix uses organic açaí powder from the same supply chain, so the flavor stays true to the frozen sorbet — and both versions ship with full specs (physical-chemical, micro, heavy metals) on the Original and Guaraná product pages.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work in any soft serve machine?
Yes — whisk one 1 kg pouch into 1 gallon (4 L) of filtered water, let it rest 20 minutes and pour into any standard soft serve machine, exactly like a dairy mix.
Does it need refrigeration?
No. The mix is shelf-stable for 18 months stored cool and dry; refrigeration only matters after it is mixed, like any soft serve base.
Is it real açaí?
Yes — the base is açaí powder made with organic açaí from the Açaí Amazonas group's own supply chain in Pará, Brazil, with published spec tables including heavy metals.
How many servings does one 1 kg pouch make?
One 1 kg (2.2 lb) pouch plus 1 gallon (4 L) of water yields about 4.5 L of finished açaí soft serve — roughly 30 servings at 150 ml (5 oz) each, or about 45 servings at 100 ml (3.4 oz). As a blended bowl base at 100 g of mix per bowl, one pouch makes about 10 bowls.
Which is cheaper per serving — the mix or the frozen sorbet?
The mix is usually cheaper per serving because you add the water and skip frozen freight and freezer storage; the frozen 3-gallon sorbet tub wins on speed of service and texture for scooped bowls. Many operators run both. We quote both formats side by side so you can compare cost per serving for your own volume.
What are the wholesale terms?
Sold B2B in 1 kg foil pouches, 20 pouches per case (20 kg / 44 lb); MOQ is confirmed on quote, usually within one business day. Ships dry and ambient from Orlando, Florida — no cold chain.
Is it dairy-free and vegan?
Yes. The açaí soft serve mix contains no dairy and no animal-derived ingredients; it is also gluten-free and Non-GMO, and it is made with organic açaí.
Does it work in a Taylor or Spaceman machine?
Yes. Once hydrated, the mix behaves like a standard non-dairy soft serve base and runs in gravity-fed and pressurized machines — Taylor, Spaceman, Carpigiani, Stoelting, Electro Freeze and Donper among them — with no machine modification. Send us your model if it is not on that list and we will confirm.
What is the difference between Original and Guaraná?
Both use the same organic açaí base. The Guaraná version (SKU 8001) adds natural guaraná flavor, which is how açaí is traditionally served in Brazil — slightly sweeter and more aromatic. Original (SKU 8000) is the clean açaí profile. Operators often run Guaraná in the machine and Original in blended bowls.
Can you private label the mix?
Yes, for volume programs. We manufacture the product ourselves, so the formula, the pouch and the artwork can be adapted — that is not something a brand buying from a third-party plant can offer.
How is it shipped and does it need refrigeration in transit?
It ships dry and ambient by parcel or freight from Orlando, Florida. No refrigerated truck, no dry ice, no cold chain — that is the whole point of the format.
What is the dilution ratio for the açaí soft serve mix?
One 1 kg (2.2 lb) pouch to 1 US gallon (3.79 L) of filtered room-temperature water — about one part mix to four parts water by weight. Whisk until dissolved, rest 20 minutes, then pour into the machine.
What overrun should I run it at?
Treat it like a non-dairy sorbet base: typically 25–40% on a standard soft serve machine. Lower overrun gives the denser, spoonable texture açaí bowl customers expect; higher overrun stretches yield for cones. No machine modification is needed either way.
How do I calculate cost per serving?
Divide your delivered cost per 1 kg pouch by the servings it yields — about 30 at 150 ml, 45 at 100 ml, or 10 blended bowls at 100 g of mix each. We will run that number for your volume and show it next to the frozen 3-gallon tub so you can compare landed cost per serving rather than price per unit.
Do you supply a certificate of analysis?
Yes — every lot ships with a batch COA plus the technical data sheet, allergen statement and Non-GMO statement. Published specs include physical-chemical, microbiological and heavy metals results.
