I received an email from a reader not too long ago after I wrote about the açai berry in my last post. The reader suggested one of their favorite juices which is called Bossa Nova original açai juice. I was at the supermarket last night and saw one bottle left of the passionfruit flavor and decided to give it a try. It was right next to the POM pomegranate drink which I also enjoy.
The back of the bottle boasts the benefits of the açai berry compared to that of the pomegranate, blueberry, apple, and red grape. According to the web site:
ADVERTISEMENTS
Açai has the unbeatable combination of being highest in antioxidants and one of the lowest in sugar. In fact, it has 60% more antioxidants than pomegranates with almost no naturally occuring sugar.
I really enjoyed the flavor of this juice. Unlike the pomegranate juice I've tried before, it wasn't tart at all. It's not overly sweet either and I like that they keep the ingredients simple. The passionfruit version was delicious so I think it is safe to assume the original is just as good. The price may be a little high for most but I don't think it is any worse than what people spend on fancy coffees every day.
I'm definitely going to buy more when I go shopping again. I highly recommend trying it out yourself.
