Acai Berry Juice - Organic Rainforest Immunity

Reviewed on:	2009-07-24
Manufacturer:	Sambazon
Where I found it:	Publix, Whole Foods

If you've heard of the natural benefits of the Acai berry but have never actually tried the juice or the berry, then you'll love this.  It's the perfect introduction to one of the most yummy juices on the market today (in my opinion).  I was most interested because it claims to be a Super Food.

In terms of functionality, this juice combines the power of the acai berry (a natural immunity-boosting agent full of antioxidants, healthy omega 3 fats, fiber and other vitamins) with an amazing cocoa-berry flavor.  I'm serious when I say that this berry has a chocolate flavor - it's hard to imagine, but it does!  And it's delicious!

The Rainforest Immunity blend has a blueberry flavor with a hint of chocolate.  It's smooth, easy to drink and satisfying!  It comes in little bottles (around $2.50 at Publix, 10.5 oz, and perfect for on-the-go) as well as larger bottles, around 32 oz.

I first tried this juice as an addition to my smoothies at home.  I would add a little juice, some bananas and some berries, ice and blend it up.  It makes the drink very smooth and mout watering.  Best of all, you don't need much per day - just 6 ounces a day can really boost your body with antioxidants.

At the time that I discovered this juice by Sambazon, I was sick with a cold.  I didn't know how this was going to help me out, but I thought I'd try it and see.  Although I can't prove whether or not it gave me the boost I needed to get over the cold, I did end up getting over it days before my husband.

All in all, I firmly recommend this.  If it's not raw-friendly, please let me know as I'm still a beginner at this stage and am not certain just how raw the drink itself is compared to the berries right off the branch!

*Rawr!* to you!
