Iâm a huge fan of acai. In the busy/stressed/polluted world we live in we need to replenish our bodies with super-charged foods, and acai is one such amazing food. It is loaded with antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins and is naturally sugar-free.
I called this smoothie my Acai Purple Beauty Angel Smoothie. Why âangelâ you might ask me?! HmmâŠto be honest, who knows?? I canât give you a straight answer. It just kind of popped into my head when I was naming the smoothie. âPurple rainâ is too cliched, as much as I love and respect Prince.
Iâve already used ârainforestâ in our Rainforest Acai recipe. Well, angels protect and have healing powers, which is kind of like what acai does? I admit itâs a bit random. But I like it. And I hope you too like the name, but more importantly, love this smoothie too, as I do!!
Prepare ingredients (you can find the Sambazon pure unsweetened acai packets in the freezer section).
Add the coconut water, acai, banana, cacao and ginger to the blender. Starting the blender on a low speed, blend until smooth.
If needed gradually increase to higher speeds and blend until smooth.
Enjoy!
Acai is a bit different from your typical fruit, in that itâs a more fatty fruit that doesnât digest as quickly as high water-containing fruits. Acai doesnât naturally contain any sugars either â itâs just pure nutrients, healthy fats and water.
This is one of the reasons why I use it in desserts (I buy it in frozen packets. I love the Pure Unsweetened Sambazon brand smoothie packets best). Acai can be purchased frozen in most health food stores and if not, donât hesitate to request that they start to carry it!
Donât forget to add this to your Smoothies & Beverages Pinterest board to find it quick!
Happy Blending!
