Frozen Fruit Smoothies For Healthy Weight LossFrozen fruit smoothies are a great addition to any weight loss diet plan; they are healthy, filling, and a great substitute for any meal. And, by adding acai berry to the mix, you create an extremely nutritious smoothie that contains many of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you need every day. 
As you may already know, acai berry is the latest craze to hit the health industry; and with good reason. Acai is a little fruit that resembles a blueberry, but has twice the antioxidants; making it one of the most antioxidant foods on the planet. It is also packed with fiber, protein, amino acids, essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9), beta-sitosterol (the plant sterol proven to help fight cholesterol), and vitamins and minerals. You can see why many people believe that the health benefits of acai might include everything from acai berry weight loss to increased energy; from lower cholesterol to an improved immune system. While these benefits are yet unproven, adding a daily dose of acai can, at the very least, be beneficial to your overall health. However, since acai is so perishable that it spoils within 24 hours from the time it is picked, anyone outside of Brazil is unlikely to ever see an actual fresh acai berry. Instead, the rest of the world has to enjoy our acai in other forms; such as acai powder, acai juice, acai berry supplements, and frozen fruit smoothies. 
And, since frozen fruit smoothies are a great way to not only get your daily acai but also to lose weight, it truly is a win-win situation! All you need are some basic healthy smoothie recipes, some acai, and a little creativity. If you don’t know how to make a smoothie, you’ll be surprised at just how simple it really is. You can pretty much put together any combination of fruit that you enjoy, add some milk, soy milk, or yogurt (if you like, but it’s not necessary), some acai berry powder or acai juice, and some ice. If you want to make your frozen fruit smoothies low-fat, you can use skim milk or low-fat yogurt, or eliminate the dairy entirely. Also, for diet smoothies be sure to use fresh fruit instead of frozen, since many frozen fruits are packaged with sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Here is a sample recipe for a homemade frozen fruit smoothie:
To make this a healthy acai smoothie, replace the 1/2 cup milk with MonaVie acai berry juice; or leave the milk and add a scoop of Sambazon acai powder. If you are lactose intolerant, replace the milk with soy milk or almost milk, and don’t use yogurt at all. Instead, add another fruit, such as mango, kiwi, strawberries, or blueberries. As you can see, there are literally endless combinations that you can use to create your own favorite frozen fruit smoothies. Get creative, have fun, and don’t forget the acai!
