It's not everyday that you come across acai berry recipes that are as healthy as they are delicious. After all, fresh acai is out of reach of most consumers so we're not so familiar with acai berry except in capsule form. But do you know that frozen acai pulp is available and can be used to whip up tasty concoctions? These recipes are a great way to take a break from the usual health supplements, without sacrificing on the nutritional value.

Acai Berry Smoothies

Smoothies are a treat for anyone of any age. Aside from being great-tasting, they can also be prepared in a variety of ways depending on what suits your fancy at a given time. You can try different blends, experiment with different mixes, and have fun doing it. Why not prepare something new using the healthy and versatile acai berry? It may be a new flavor, but definitely one that you and your loved ones can enjoy.

1 cup of acai frozen pulp 1 cup of plain vanilla yogurt or any yogurt flavor you love 1 cup pomegranate juice 1 piece banana

Toss all of the ingredients into your blender and mix them until they are a nice thick smoothie consistency. And you have plenty of freedom with this acai berry recipe. You can use any mixture of flavors that you like. For something tangier, you could use orange juice instead of pomegranate juice. Or if you like a little bite, you can use pineapple juice.

Acai Berry Whipped Cream

Ice cream is good but topping it with something can make it even better. And what would make a great topping is acai berry flavored whipped cream. It may take some effort to produce that light and fluffy cream, but once you do, it's a great way to experience the acai berry taste.

1 cup heavy cream 2 teaspoons acai berry juice 1 teaspoon sugar

Start by pouring the heavy cream into a bowl. Add the other ingredients. You may choose to use an electric mixer or whisk it manually ? very slowly at first. As the cream starts to get thicker, whisk faster. Continue whisking fast until the cream achieves the texture of commercial creams. And then, you're done! Use your healthy cream to top off your sweet cravings.

The most important thing to remember when coming up with healthy and delicious recipes is to work yourself into the recipe. Make the food that you want to eat. Be as clever and creative with the ingredients as you would like. The more fun you have with your acai berry recipe, the better your dish is going to taste.
