one of the most delicious things ever. jamba juice has acai super antioxidant smoothie and it is amazing. robeck's juice has an acai bowl which is acai sorbet scoops with granola on top and banana slices. if you haven't tried the acai berry you are really missing out!

i heard that the locals of the area where it grows who used to have acai as part of their regular diet, can no longer afford it because of this bullshit acai fad. i dunno. something to look into.

The dense pigmentation of açaí has led to several experimental studies of its anthocyanins, a group of polyphenols that give the deep color to berries, other fruits and vegetables and are high in antioxidant value under active research for potential health benefits[1]. A recent study using a standardized freeze-dried açaí fruit pulp and skin powder found the total anthocyanin levels to be 319 mg per 100 grams (Schauss et al., 2006a). Cyandin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside are major açaí anthocyanins [2].

where i am at you can also buy acai juice concentrate, it comes in little juice boxes, and is equally delicious as the smoothies.

Only thing about Jamba Juice is that yer getting frozen fruit...try and find a true fresh juice spot.
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis
