Superfood



Among the recently touted superfoods are açai berries.

Have any of you eaten them? Tried anything containing them? Had any adverse reaction?

When I saw Tropicana Pure was making raspberry/açai juice, I couldn't wait to try it. Not because I couldn't wait for the açai berry infusion, but because I love raspberries and figured raspberry juice could be pretty wonderful. So...I finally found it in the store after seeing the advertisements for months. Got it. Drank a little. Only 4 ounces, because that's the equivalent of a fruit on my current meal plan.

I had a rough night. That's one of the few things I did out of the ordinary that day. Açai berry complemented raspberry juice. And then there was that awesome split pea soup. Could have been either wreaking havoc on me. I don't know anything for sure, except that both the juice and the soup tasted really yummy and I'm afraid to try either again. Since I have a positive history with split pea soup, I'm inclined to think it was the superfood.
