Have you ever heard of a superfood? A superfood is a food that is rich in antioxidants, fiber and fatty acids. Superfoods are helpful to a person’s health. They are much better for you than other foods.

We love adding superfoods into out non-alcoholic drinks. Superfoods can make drinks healthy and delicious. That is why we created a strawberry acai refresher. It may remind you of that Starbucks drink you love. Our version is even better!

We make our strawberry acai drink with acai powder. Acai is a deep purple berry native to warm climates. The berries are picked at peak ripeness. Then they are frozen to sell. The berries can also be dried and ground into a powder.

Acai berries are healthy in many ways. They can help improve cholesterol levels. The nutrients in the berries can help fight cancer cells. They may also prevent cancer cells from spreading.

Acai can even boost brain function and improve memory. They can also help your skin glow! Acai is such a powerful little berry. It is a food you surely want to add to your diet.

Let’s make yummy Strawberry Acai Refresher!

We use powdered acai for this acai berry drink. It blends and dissolves into the syrup easily. All those nutrients are mixed right into every sip! 

There are a few ways to tweak this tasty refresher recipe. Try swapping the fresh sliced berries with frozen berries. Freeze dried strawberries will work too. A scoop of strawberry powder is great to make the strawberry acai base even stronger.

Mix some passion fruit juice in for a tropical drink. A splash of coconut milk would taste great as well. Some green coffee bean powder will add a little caffeine. A new, exciting twist is always fun!

If you’re craving a Starbucks strawberry acai drink, try our recipe instead. Our version of this acai pink drink tastes really fresh. You’ll know why this beverage is called a refresher after just one sip. It is, well, refreshing!
