This acai smoothie doubles as a great snack or a great dessert (a few hours after a meal). Acai is a fatty fruit that doesn’t digest as quickly as high water-containing fruits, so it is one of the few fruits I use in desserts.
Acai can be purchased frozen in health stores. Personally, I like to use the Superfruit Packs from Sambazon!
I love using my Vitamix when I make my smoothies because it creates the smooth and creamy texture I strive to have in this kind of smoothie.

Beauty Secret Tip: Açai is loaded with beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including Omega 3 fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, key vitamins and fiber. The Omega 3 fatty acids found in Açai maintain the structure and fluidity of cell membranes, facilitating the inflow of nutrients and the outflow of waste products, promoting youthful, smooth and radiant skin by keeping skin cells hydrated and strong.
Happy Blending!

Could we substitute other berries if we have a hard time finding acai? If so, which ones would work? Thanks!
Hi Kim,
If frozen acai berries are not available in any of my health stores, is there a brand you recommend that I should order? I would love to incorporate acai into my diet but need to know what to get!
Thanks Kim!
Try Nativo Amazon Acai. They are the only Raw Acai in the US, they can deliver to your house within 3 business days. AMAZING STUFF
I thought you couldn’t have fruit as dessert do acia berries not count in that rule?
OMG…Acai is really expensive! Is there any cheaper substitutes??
Hey Kimberly,
Best wishes from Germany and thank you for your amazing book! I want to try your Rainforest Acai Smoothie but I can’t find frozen acai packets here in Germany. Is it possible to use powder instead?
I am allergic to tree nuts. What do you recommend instead of almond milk?
Hemp milk is good. X
I love the addition of the avocado to this! I made it without it a couple of times at first, but it’s so much more filling with it! A winner!
I wonder if your book ” The Beaty Detox Solution” are coming on Swedish?
Hemp milk is good. X
Hi, I am unfortunately allergic to almond milk, is there an alternative you would suggest?
You can make any nut milk for example hazelnut or macadamia there are many options you can choose from
Thanks for finally writing about > Rainforest Acai Smoothie Recipe < Liked it!
I made this but used carob instead of cacao due to the caffeine. I replaced the avacado with a banana and both ways were really good.
Great blog you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics talked about in
this article? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Thank you!
I use frozen acai packets in my daily breakfast smoothie. Hadn’t tried as dessert/snack. Will today. I like from Trader Joe’s.
Let us know how you do and thanks for giving this smoothie a try! 😉
