This smoothie is one of the BEST smoothies I had in a while. It is so creamy, yummy and sweet plus it contains one of the healthiest berries on earth: Acai!
But, what's all that fuss really about? "The acai (ah-sigh-EE) berry is a grapelike fruit harvested from acai palm trees, which are native to the rainforests of South America." (mayoclinic.org). Many people say the berry helps and promotes weight loss, but there aren't many studies to prove that. What can be said however is that it contains a lot of antioxidants, which are known to keep your skin young and healthy and might even help prevent cancer by inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules in your body, which produce free radicals. Those molecules can start chain reactions (wikipedia.org/wiki/antioxidants).
