If you haven’t yet discovered
acai
(pronounced ah-sigh-ee), makethis smoothie and you might just become an acai
addict!
This exotic purple berry, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, comes from the Brazilian rain forest and is thought by many to be the world’sbest superfruit. Reminiscent of blackberries and blueberries, sweetacai comes alive when paired with teasingly tart, antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice. Keep your eye out for acai juice blends, as well as smoothie packs, which have less sugar and are found in the freezer section at natural-foods stores. Our kids love to top this smoothie withorganic sprouted granola for a super-charged breakfast.
