The acai berry, native to Brazil, is being touted as a food to eat if you want to lower cholesterol, sleep better, improve your digestion and even ward off cancer. Whether this information is true or not, there are many great uses for the delicious acai berry.

From Quick Guide: Acai Berry Diet
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blender or juicer
  • Ice
  1. Step 1

    Start your blender and make a smoothie from acai berries for breakfast or snacks. Combining acai with other berries or mango, plain yogurt and crushed ice makes a healthy and delicious treat.

  2. Step 2

    Eat your morning yogurt mixed with acai berries and granola for a change of pace. Acai replaces blueberries or strawberries and is very tasty.

  3. Step 3

    Top your ice cream with acai berries. If you take the frozen acai and mix it with other berries or cherries the flavors will mix and taste great.

  4. Step 4

    Run fruits and berries that appeal to you through your juicer and add acai berry to the mix to boost the antioxidant quotient.

Tips & Warnings
  • Well known U.S. doctors are confident that acai can be the next superfood with curative properties.
  • Be sure that you are ordering pure acai that comes in a frozen state. This berry is perishable and unless you live in the Amazon rainforest you will not find it in a fresh state.
