Foo - Acai

Mmmmm - this stuff rocks in smoothies. Hard to find though. Just found their website - I use the "smoothie packs".

acai stuff is too expensive... plus anti-oxidants are a bit overrated.

esp. by oxidants.

lol - should call ya buttah jsharr - 'cause you're on a roll...

(oh that was bad...)

acai also has lots of vitamins and omega fatty acids, plus low fat and low sugar. It does have more antioxidants than any other food out there.

Yeah but it tastes nasty.

I mix it with frozen blue berries and other fruit and orange juice in a blender. It taste great like that. April can back me up on that, she's had a couple with me.

Yep, you don't taste any nastiness if it's mixed with fruit and OJ and stuff (I put a little Splenda in, too... I'm a sugarholic like that :o).

BTW, what are you doing drinking a smoothie at 3:30 in the afternoon? :D

Acai smoothies are great! They're way overpriced though. I've noticed they're popping up in a lot of the local food stores around here lately.

well, not the resounding review I'd hoped for... ;)

No, no smoothies this afternoon. I just stumbled across the links and was reading up on their product and thought I'd throw it out here.

I love acai.

That is all.

If it's so nasty you have to bury it in berries and OJ...I'll pass.

It can't be good for you if it doesn't taste good. ;)

Okay, it's not bad, it just has a unique taste that you wouldn't associate with berries.

Yes, it's that bad. Yicks.

You know how pineapple tastes right after you brush your teeth? Acai tastes like that all the time. Blechh.

No, can't say I've ever had pineapple after brushing my teeth.

The only time I've had acai was in some acai/pomegranate juice stuff that I got a while ago. From what I remember, it was just really tart, and cost about $5 for a little 8 oz bottle.

Ew--what the heck were you eating? The acai I've had is pretty bland.

I've been seeing some different health drinks with acai berries in it - haven't tried anything yet. But all the stuff I've read about them say great things aoub them.

That same yucky stuff that your boyfriend posted - Sambazon. It was sharp tasting and sour.

I brush my teeth with a pineapple. Would I like acai?

Well, you are a little different Jsharr, so yeah. You might.

hmm stuff that is good for ya seems to taste bad. like wheatgrass. I tried it at a smoothie place - and the counter person looked mortified at my suggestion to put that shot of greenie goodness into my smoothie. No she said - it "oxidizes". Ok, drink it like a shot. :eek: UGH! Felt like I mowed the lawn with my mouth. Had to wipe the tongue off!

My father's cardioligist gave him this diet:

"If it tastes good, spit it out"

If stress is still the #1 killer, then worrying about what you eat is more dangerous than not worrying at all. ;)

Wait, stress is the #1 killer? x136 has been lying to me. He showed me his necklace of severed ears and told me HE was the number one killer. Then he kind of waved his knife by my ear and asked for all my money.

I'd never eat it by itself - it doesn't taste good that way, but it adds a nice flavor when you blend it with other fruits IMO. C'mon, theres lots of stuff that you wouldn't eat by itself. Bakers/pure chocolate taste really bitter for example.

Oh so NOW you tell us this Ravenmore!!!

This was a set up, wasn't it? You were trying to get us all to try that nasty stuff nekkid, weren't you? Yeah I get it - I was the sucker, uh huh.

See? Never trust a man that wears his jersey backward.

I haven't checked the stats in a while, so it is possible he's overtaken the #1 slot. Either way, acai or x136...I'll avoid them both. I know at least one tastes nasty.

Considering the size of your ears, this is probably best.;)

Damn...I was hoping the unruly ear hair would be a deterrent...

umm, we are talking x136 here. Ear hair, unsightly moles, and other abnormalities are just going to work him into a frenzy. it was nice knowing you dude.

He might just take the ears and not actually kill him...

Where is the fun in that?

I've tried Acai supplements. I like the XXX Vitamin water as well....has Acia, Blueberry and Pomegrante in it. Rather tasty.
