Drink Acai Berry Juice

• 1

  Check the ingredients on the acai juice packaging.

• 2

  Choose a product that is made from fresh acai berries -- not from concentrate or chemically dried berries as these processes reduce the vitamin and mineral content.

• 3

  Choose a product free from added sugar, flavorings or sweeteners.

• 4

  Select an acai juice drink from a reputable company known for producing good quality produce. Some companies may even offer a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.

• 5

  Read reviews online to find out more about the nutritional value, taste and popularity of certain brands.

• 6

  Pour into a glass and add water or juice to flavor. Alternatively, drink undiluted if preferred.

  Research your product choices. Online reviews will guide you to the most reputable and most fairly priced products.

  Add a sachet or scoop of powder to water or fruit juice as directed on the packaging.
