Dietary Needs: Soy Free,Vegan,Dairy Free,Low Glycemic,Gluten Free
We LOVE this product! Acaí, pronounced (ah-sigh-ee), is a super yummy superfood. These little purple immune-boosting berries are found atop 50 foot palm trees along the banks of the Amazon. Acaí is loaded with a rich source of antioxidants called anthocyanins (these are the same phytochemicals that are found in red wine and are known for having very healthy benefits.) This berry truly is amazing considering it contains high levels of antioxidants (2x that of blueberries), contains high levels of dietary fiber, and contains high levels of essential amino acids and trace minerals. Something surprising about this berry is that it has healthy unsaturated fats, a fatty acid ratio similar to olive oil, and its protein profile is similar to that of an egg! Açaí is also known to be a low glycemic food, at about half the glycemic index of an orange. Sambazon's efforts in sustainability are significant and have been recognized all over the world. We recommend the unsweetened smoothie packs since there is no added sugar. To make your own 'acai bowl' blend two unsweetened smoothie packs with a banana (to sweeten naturally.) Sprinkle raw cacao, hemp seeds and almonds on top for a healthy delicious snack.
