All Natural Goodness

Acai is one of the only fruits that are completely sugar free! It makes up for the sugar with a whole lot of other goodness. It’s rich in antioxidants, health omegas, essential nutrients and minerals as well as polyunsaturated and monosaturated fats that give it that creamy taste.
