TEMPTING TREATS THE HEALTHY WAY WITH REAL FOODS
Acai is a deep purple grape-like berry that grows on a tall palm tree in Brazil and other regions of Central and South America. The acai berry is a superfood, containing even more antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries.
This is the perfect breakfast (or snack) on a warm summer day, or when it is cold outside and you want to pretend it is summer. Blend fresh ripe bananas with frozen blueberries and frozen acai pulp or acai powder, then top the banana - blueberry - acai sorbet with some fresh fruit and coconut yoghurt. Simply Heavenly. Make double the quantity for an extra treat, or to share with a friend.
All the ingredients you need for this recipe are available at your local Real Foods shop – 37 Broughton Street EH1 3JU or 8 Brougham Street EH3 9JH.
