Okay apparently no one knows how to make these as yummy as I do lol. Hey, I’m just being honest! I know I haven’t updated for awhile because I have been super busy with my company (I’m the CEO and Founder) and my other blog Consumer-Outlet.com but I am really trying my best you guys! Also, my hosting company *ahem* sort of screwed my background up. If you are a visitor from before you would know my b-ground USED to be eggplant purple. But now its some god awful grey color and that just upset me (

Anyway, after having a ton of comments today in my email and twitter I decided to set up an easy recipe for Acai Berry Smoothies. Now you can either use milk or orange juice or whatever other “liquid” you want. Personally I like the fruit taste of the OJ mixed with all the other stuff but once in a blue moon if I want an “ice cream” consistency Ill use the milk. One thing I also would suggest is that if you DO use milk – you can use ANY kind of milk. For example, my mom uses Soy Milk. Remember – cooking is not about rules. Its about having fun, tastefully delicious food and cooking it the way YOU like it. So if you don’t like something listed below – don’t put it in!

Acai Berry Smoothie:
7 Strawberries cut up
1 Whole frozen banana
3 spoon fulls of frozen Blueberries
1/4c Orange Juice
Acai Powder (I get the capsules because its cheaper!)
1 Scoop “Secure” Vanilla powder (protein)
1 capsule of Energy and Fat Metabolism Factors (by ProCaps)
1 capsule Vitamin B12
1 Heaping tablespoon Greek Yogurt
5 Ice Cubes

Obviously for the capsules – I take the power OUT of the capsule and for the ice cubes – you can add or subtract cubes in order to make it more luquidy or more thick. I usually put ALL the fruit in first and then add the liquid and blend it. Then Ill add the yogurt and the powders and blend it again. And lastly I put in the cubes. I like mine medium – sort of liquid-y and sort of thick (but not so thick you need a straw!)

And that’s about it. You can get the Acai powder but I prefer the Capsules because its already measured out and its MUCH cheaper. I buy mine from the website below. Its only $4.95 for an entire bottle. So that’s pretty cool in itself!

Buy Acai!

That site is super easy to sign up with as well. So give it a go and see whats what. I like the Acai because it gives me energy and its super good for you. In fact, this is considered as being one of THE SuperFoods because of the effect it can have on your body. Its good for weight loss, immune systems, colds, metabolic processing, etc!
