So delicious!!
Pure acai is delicious! I've had it in store-bought smoothies and acai blueberry drinks, but I've never had it on it's own. I always thought it would be tart, but it's not at all. It's subtle and sweet and so good! The powder is a very dark blackish-purple color. I added a teaspoon to a vanilla milkshake, expecting to get a deep purple milkshake, but that's not what happened. The powder didn't dissolve completely, so it wound up looking like a light purple cookies and cream milkshake. I was expecting it to be gritty, but it surprised me once again! I don't really understand how, but it wasn't gritty at all! The majority of the particles stayed suspended in the shake, and the ones that sunk to the bottom easily mixed back in when I stirred it. It tasted like a light, sweet berry milkshake with just a hint of chocolate...definitely a new favorite! I can't wait to try this in my berry smoothies and to see what else I can do with this purple goodness! I also love that it's an excellent source of iron. I try to give blood as often as I can, but my hemoglobin levels are always very low (sometimes so low that the meter won't even read my blood). I don't eat a lot of red meat, so I'm always looking for other foods that are high in iron. This will be a great booster for the days leading up to my appointment! It tastes amazing, and it's great for my body...I couldn't ask for anything better!
