The Fresh & Healthy Snack: Acai


If you haven't already caught on to the growing Acai trend, I suggest you do. The Acai berry is in the same category as blueberries, which we all know is a "superfood." Pretty much both of these berries are very strong antioxidants, which help protect your body against disease & aging. And it tastes good!!


So here's my simple Acai recipe...

The Acai Cup


Ingredients:


1 frozen package Acai puree
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup granola
dash of milk
3 ice cubes

Directions:


Throw the frozen acai, half the banana, milk, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend until it is smooth.

Pour the acai into a cup and then mix in the granola. Thinly slice the other half of the banana and toss it on top.



That's it! Hope you enjoy this tasty recipe!
