Amazing Acai Smoothie
You’ve probably seen Acai berry powders, capsules, or purple packets in your grocery freezer section. But is this so-called superfood worth the hype?
High in phytonutrients, omega fatty acids, amino acids and fiber, when it’s in organic form, acai berries are a prime candidate for cleansing, boosting your immunity and rejuvenating your overall wellness.
Acai is a dense source of an anthocyanins and some research shows that they contain significantly higher levels than even the blueberry. Anthocyanins are a subset of antioxidants powerful in combating damage done by free radicals.
Other reasons that this super-berry is being touted:
The Omega fatty acids may help to balance hormones and moods, for all ages.
High in both vitamin C and elegiac acid, these boost your immunity and therefore help to keep disease at bay.
Acai will help with your digestive health, and give your skin a glow.
To create this week’s smoothie, we added our favorite matcha from Mel at Maya, and the cleanest organic protein in town.
Give it a whirl!
