Acai is a fruit from South America that has an extremely high anti-oxidant content. It’s therefore one of the most perfect goods to toss into your morning smoothie. I buy the Sambazon Acai Smoothie packs because they are so easy to blend up with all the other ingredients. Despite it’s deep purple color, Acai is actually quite bland to the taste, so I like to load up my smoothie with berries and fruits that give it a sweet, fruity flavor. This recipe is one of my favorites – and it all gets made in my wonderful Blendtec 625 Blender:
- 1 Sambazon smoothie pack
- 1/2 banana
- 3/4 cup frozen blackberries
- 1 cup spinach or kale
- 1tbsp So Delicious cultured coconut yogurt
- 1tbsp ground flax
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 8- ounces Quinoa or Hemp milk
If you are going to do a big workout, you may want to add 1 scoop of a good quality pea, hemp or brown rice protein powder.
