What Is Acai? 


Acai, one of the tastiest members of the superfood family, in my opinion, is a fruit found on acai palm trees. Acai berries are purple like grapes, and are native to the Amazon region. While we call acai a berry, its large pit means it’s technically not a berry, but a drupe. 

Acai Smoothie Health Benefits

 

This superfood-packed snack has risen in popularity not just for its incredible health benefits, but for the star ingredient in the Pinterest-worthy acai bowl—acai! Here are some of the awesome benefits you can expect from this acai smoothie recipe.

  • High in antioxidants—This acai blueberry smoothie is loaded with antioxidants, which help protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. 
  • Nutrient-dense—Unlike most fruits, acai is high in fat and low in sugar. They also contain vitamin A and calcium.
  • Improves brain health—The plant compounds found in acai berries could potentially help protect your brain from damage as you age, [1] and antioxidants can help reduce inflammation and improve memory.

Other Health Benefits Of This Blueberry Acai Smoothie


This acai smoothie doesn’t stop there! Here are some of the other awesome ingredients your mind, body, and taste buds will thank you for!

  • Blueberries—Blueberries are packed with nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese. And just like acai berries, blueberries also have a TON of antioxidants. In fact, blueberries have some of the highest amounts of antioxidant levels within the fruit family. This is an acai blueberry smoothie for the books! [2]
  • Bananas—Bananas contain important nutrients like potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, magnesium, fiber, and protein. Bananas may also help improve digestion due to their fiber content.

It contains 13 powerful metabolism-boosting superfoods that help achieve a healthy weight, reduce bloating, and release harmful toxins that can build up over time. The perfect addition to the acai smoothie recipe!

How To Make An Acai Smoothie

 

You’ll love how easy it is to make this acai blueberry smoothie. Because fresh acai berries have a short shelf life and are only available where they’re grown, they are exported here and sold either frozen or as a dried powder or pressed juice. Take a quick trip to the frozen fruit section at your local grocery store and you’ll find a simple, ready-to-make frozen acai smoothie pack. 

To make this acai smoothie recipe even easier, you can pre-make your Detox tea so it’s ready when you are. Brew your Detox tea the night before and let sit in the fridge overnight. Then, wake up and get to blendin’! 

Yes, it’s that simple—Add dates to your acai blueberry smoothie for extra sweetness, or add some coconut flakes on top for some extra YUM! No matter how you prepare this acai smoothie recipe, your packing in important nutrients that you can easily take with you on-the-go.
