The açaí berry as a slimming and wrinkle killer

Posted on sustenance

Açaí — one of the most well-known superfoods is very trendy, and there are plenty of good reasons for that. Açaí's popularity doesn't come from anywhere: This incredibly healthy, little purple berry has tremendous benefits for your beauty, health and nutrition.

The berries are great for detoxifying the body and are rich in antioxidants and help maintain beautiful skin and reduce signs of aging. They also improve endurance and help maintain a healthy body by improving the circulatory system, reducing cholesterol levels, and aiding digestion.

Açaí berries come from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and are known for their weight-reducing properties. The small superfruits improve bone health and strength and reduce signs of fatigue.

Acai is a rich, deep purple fruit whose shape is somewhat reminiscent of that of grapes. These berries have a mild, chocolatey berry sweetness and grow in large clusters on a specific type of palm tree in the Amazon region. Each açaí berry contains only 10% fruit and flesh and a long core that is not edible. That is why harvesting this fruit seems a bit complex, as the tree has no branches and every collection of berries must be cut off and picked from the very top so that the fruit and flesh are preserved.

There are three basic ways to prepare açaí for a recipe: açaí powder, açaí juice, and açaí frozen smoothie packs. For this recipe, I used the powder, which is easier to obtain and was immediately freeze-dried to preserve the active ingredients. It is therefore not too processed. You can add the powder to smoothies, juices and homemade ice cream, or sprinkle it over morning cereal and refine raw delights.

High-quality fruit pulp and skin contain antioxidants, amino acids, fiber, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, which make the fruit a perfect source of energy for nutrition. Antioxidant levels are increased to combat harmful free radicals, increase energy, support the immune system and promote healthy digestion.

This blackberry açaí ice cream is a natural, sweet and healthy treat that nourishes and nourishes your body.

If you don't have blackberries, feel free to use other types of berries, such as blueberries, raspberries or even strawberries. For a creamier sherbet, substitute coconut cream for apple juice by freezing a can of coconut milk or spooning the white, thick cream out of the top.

• 3 cups fresh blackberries, washed
• 2 medium-ripe frozen bananas
• ½ cup unsweetened apple juice or fruit juice of your choice
• 2 tsp açaí powder
• 2 tbsp. natural sweetener of choice (coconut sugar, maple syrup or honey)

Wash the berries and mix them with the frozen bananas, apple juice and açaí powder in a powerful blender or food processor. Chop the whole thing until soft and creamy. You can pause occasionally to press the fruit down with a rubber spatula. Then taste and add sweetener if necessary. Blend again so that the sweetness is well absorbed in the mixture.

Place the spoon in the ice cream container and either freeze or enjoy immediately.
