Most smoothies I make are with acai. I think I'm addicted to acai smoothies.
I buy the frozen pulp smoothie packets (got to have something frozen in the smoothie) and also add some freeze dried powder.
Acai isn't very sweet either. Only 4 grams of carb and 2 grams of sugar for 100 grams of the frozen pulp. But the natural sugar of a banana is enough to make the acai smoothie taste woderful.
I haven't tried the acai juice in a smoothie. I think those juice products are pasturized but I'm not sure.
I like trying new superfoods and the fruits are usually better tasting then any green superfood product.
