Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is a brazilian berry that is a super food if you haven't heard of it. here in hawaii you can get acai bowls a lot of places including jamba juice. it is topped with bananas, granola and honey and we love it. we found the acai frozen packets at whole foods and decided to start making them ourselves. the brand is sambazon ( i think that is right). we have a vita mix mixer and my husband just really just started playing around with things. we add 2 frozen packets(for 2 of us) of acai, add frozen blueberries, raspberries, 1 tsp. ground flaxseed meal, some crushed ice and some apple, pomegranate or orange juice to thin it out. top with banana, granola with pumpkin seeds and honey. Yummy! and so healthy!
these pictures should have come up the opposite way but the bottom is of the smoothie in the mixer. you can also make a smoothie just thin it out a little more so it is drinkable not spoonable.
Awesome. That is like getting the Acai cup at Jamba Juice without having to order no granola, extra bananas.
