Superfood Smoothie #8 - Acai Cherry Smoothie
Acai is by far one of the most hyped superfoods of the
moment, which existence “has been kept secret from most of the world for
centuries”. The word “secret” is intriguing enough to lure most of us, but then
there is a magic phrase “the ultimate superfood” and here we go – crowds of
somnambulists are flocking Wholefoods stores searching for mysterious purple berries.
Of course, I am one of them, sigh :)
