If you find a place that actually sells the acai berry, you can make a
couple of original recipes of your own using the berry. One of the most
effective ways to get all the nutritional benefits of acai is to juice the
berry or prepare a smoothie using acai. Here are a couple of recipe suggestions
that you may want to try:
Acai Smoothie
Take 7 OZ (200 grams ) Açai into a blender. Add 1/2 cup of soy milk or juice
and 1 banana (you can also add other fruits like strawberry/mango/etc). Blend
until smooth and serve in a bowl topped with sliced bananas and granola.

with, and you can eat the fruit raw or with yogurt, since it’s so similar to a
grape. Check out local health food stores and farmer’s markets for more
information on acai, and look at the companies listed above for ordering
