The Benefits of Acai
Acai berries/powder are increasing in popularity every day. The well known purple fruit is even in the worlds Top Ten Antioxidant Superfruits!
It seems like Instagram is continually full of health photos of Acai smoothies, bowls & more!
They are found in the rain forests of the Amazon and have been known for hundreds of years for countless health benefits. I've listed the most common benefits below!
-Extremely high in antioxidants (one berry has ten times more antioxidants then red grapes and thirty times more than red wine.)
-Provides an energy boost and assists with exhaustion.
-Boosts the immune system as it is extremely high in Vitamin C and elegiac acid.
-Promotes skin health and a healthy glow from the inside out. (This is why it is also called the Beauty Berry.)
-Helps lower cholesterol as it is high in anthocyanins.
-Contains essential fatty acids and 19 amino acids.
-Full of minerals such as iron, calcium, potassium & phosphorus.
I love Acai powder because it is so easy to add into every day foods such as smoothies, yoghurt, muesli, fruit juice and more!
If you're in the market for an antioxidant powder then you may wish to give Acai a go :) It's so great to start the day off with an energising Superfruits breakfast. In the smoothie above I have used Power Superfoods Acai Powder- an extremely high quality acai powder. You can buy their products in some local health shops or online at powersuperfoods.com.au !
