Many people report that the acai berry has numerous benefits, which is part of the reason why it has become so popular today. Despite its benefits, the acai berry cannot be found in most stores in its berry form because of how quickly it loses its nutritional value once it has been picked. Instead of selling the actual berry in the store, most stores sell acai juice, powder, or pulp. The good news is that all three of these forms can be used to create some of the most delicious Acai Berry Smoothies that you have ever tasted.
