Acai Berry Smoothies: Back To Basics
As dedicated smoothie-makers ourselves, we were delighted to come across this thoughtful article,”A Smooth Way To Extra Nutrients,” on Canada.com by dietician Jennifer Sygo. The story discusses the acai smoothie and the best ways to prepare this healthful, delicious drink. If you have access to frozen acai berries or pure acai pulp, try adding them to your whole fruit smoothies. Avoid juices that may contain unwanted sugars, but bananas, berries, soy milk and yogurt make for a great backdrop for your acai smoothie.
“If you’re a fan of the growing number of smoothie bars popping up across North America, then you’re probably familiar with the various “super fruits” that are added to pump up your drink of choice. One of the most popular is the acai (pronounced a-sigh-EE) berry, a product of the Brazilian rainforest that peaked in popularity after being featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2008. Despite a limited body of research, acai supporters argue that it is a powerful, antioxidant-rich superfood that can be useful for everything from weight loss to colon cleansing. While a number of dubious companies have sprung up selling purported acai-based weight loss products, the berry itself–like all berries — is nutritious, even though it probably won’t live up to the hype it has generated.”
