You can add Acai powder to bowls of soups, meals and pretty much anything. But top of the list has to be smoothies.
Whilst Acai powder works well in almost any smoothie recipe that you can imagine here we provide a couple of very tasty and nutritious varieties that should get you loving taking your daily health supplement, and get your brain thinking of some Acai recipes of your own.
Recipe 1 – Strawberry Smoothie With AcaiIngredients: Acai Powder. 1/2 cup of frozen vanilla yoghurt, 1/3 cup of milk, strawberries.
Take one serving of Acai berry powder and place into into a blender. Next halve about 6 strawberries (or more to taste) and place those into the blender. Poor in 1/3 a cup of milk and half a cup of vanilla frozen yoghurt. Blend for 30 seconds and consume.
If you want it a bit sweeter honey can be added before blending.
This can be used with almost any fruit and is excellent for not only providing you with your 'Acai hit' but also the nutrient value from the fruit.
This is more of a fruit smoothie in that it uses fruit juices.
Ingredients:
½ cup of apple juice. ½ cup of orange juice. ½ an apple and ½ an orange. Acai powder.
Pour the fruit juices into a blender. Slice up half an apple and place that in the blender and then peel an orange, placing half in the blender. Add the Acai powder and blend for 30 seconds.
This will give you a very liquid, very fruit laden smoothie, perfect for those who want to have a tasty and nutritious smoothie that helps them get well on their way to 'five a day'. Other fruit juices such as pineapple also work very well.
For many people the main reason for taking Acai supplements is that they want to boost their immune system – which is what Acai is perfect for. So by combining Acai powder with other antioxidant ingredients to create a tasty smoothie is the perfect answer. And tastes great.
Ingredients: 1 cup of cranberry juice, Acai berry powder, small handful of blueberries, small handful of grapes, small handful of blackberries, teaspoon of honey.
Combine all the ingredients into a blender, including the honey, and blend for 20-30 seconds and consume immediately.
All the ingredients are high in antioxidants and are surprisingly tasty when combined. Some people have an aversion to cranberry juice so substituting with pineapple juice will give a tastier, it slightly less effective, result.
These 3 recipe ideas should set you well on your way to getting a tasty intake of Acai whilst also improving your fruit intake. I'm sure they have also fired up ideas of recipes of your own so don't hold back, get experimenting. The good news is that however you go about using Acai berry powder you will still be getting the health benefits of the wonderful Acai berry.
