Healthy and Great-Tasting Acai Berry Recipes

By Travis Van Slooten

It's not everyday that you come across acai berry recipes that are as healthy as they are delicious. After all, fresh acai is out of reach of most consumers so we're not so familiar with acai berry except in capsule form. But do you know that frozen acai pulp is available and can be used to whip up tasty concoctions? These recipes are a great way to take a break from the usual health supplements, without sacrificing on the nutritional value.

Acai Berry Smoothies

Smoothies are a treat for anyone of any age. Aside from being great-tasting, they can also be prepared in a variety of ways depending on what suits your fancy at a given time. You can try different blends, experiment with different mixes, and have fun doing it. Why not prepare something new using the healthy and versatile acai berry? It may be a new flavor, but definitely one that you and your loved ones can enjoy.

1 cup acai berry pulp 1 cups of your favorite yogurt or just vanilla 1 cup pomegranate juice 1 banana

In a blender, put all the above ingredients and blend them until you get a good and thick smoothie consistency. There are plenty of ways to add variety to this acai berry recipe. One is by using a mix of flavors. Pomegranate juice is recommended but you may also try orange juice or pineapple juice for a stronger flavor. You can experiment all you want until you get the right blend to suit your taste buds.

Acai Berry Whipped Cream

Ice cream is good but topping it with something can make it even better. And what would make a great topping is acai berry flavored whipped cream. It may take some effort to produce that light and fluffy cream, but once you do, it's a great way to experience the acai berry taste.

1 cup heavy cream 2 teaspoons acai berry juice 1 teaspoon sugar or substitute

Use cold whipped cream and dish it out on a bowl. Put in the rest of the ingredients and start whipping very slowly with the use of a whisk or an electric mixer. Observe the cream stiffening up and as it does, speed up your mixer. When you see the cream having stiff peaks, you'll know you've done it right. Use this acai blend on your ice cream or any dessert that could do with a yummy topping. You can increase the volume of this recipe by increasing each ingredient by the same amount.

Feel free to make yourself as creative as you can when coming up with yummy and healthy recipes. Think of new ingredients. Be innovative in your cooking techniques. Have fun as much as possible. The more creative you are, the more flavorful your acai berry recipes will taste. - 17273
