Acai Berry??

[Aint Doody]

I just drank a Fuse that was pomegranite and acai berry. It's the "slenderize" version. It was delicious and 20 calories, but too expensive where I got it, and Safeway doesn't have that flavor.

I buy juice concentrates at my local health food store - vary between acai, concord grape, cranberry - and use about a quarter cup in my protein shakes. I mix in frozen berries, water, and a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.

I'm not really a poster girl for a healthy weight just yet, but I do have to say that when I was drinking these smoothies on a regular basis, I noticed a marked improvement in my energy level and overall feeling of joy and balance.

I need to get back on that regimen. Maybe blend in some spinach, carrot, and cucumber.

Yum.

well, Ive been studying alt medicine, complementary medicine, vitamins, and such for 20 odd years.
We dont get enough vitamins in food, due to many factors. ( depleted soils, etc) This can make you eat MORE as your body is starving for nutrients!
Also, scientifically,you cant eat enough food to give you enough to stave off baddies like environmental pollution( youd need to eat 25 avocados to get enough vit e to help prevent heart disease).

I take daily:
Usana( the only known pharmaceutical grade vitamins in world( you only get em thru net,or network marketing, as they are too expensive if they were sold thru stores and guy who started company wanted everyone to be avle to take them)
muti vitamin, multi antioxidant( fill out what I cant get thru food and help prevent free radicals)3xd
selenium
calcium
zinc
phytelle( womens supplement that balance hormones and keeps PMT and cramps at bay) has dong chai, chaste tree berry, black cohosh
lysine( other problems)
magnesium( helps high fibre diets and prevents bloating)
iron and copper( I had blood tests and Im low in these.only take iron if doctor says, its dangerous!)
andrographis( for immune system)
chromium picolinate( burns fat)
l-leusine, l-valine, l isoleuscine( helps speed recovery after workouts)
L tyrosine( for ADD)

It may seem like lots but believe me its not just because I have a chronic illness. Most of us dont know that most degenerative illness can be prevented with diet and vitamins( that includes, cancer, diabetes, heart disease.)

Sorry to get on soapbox, but I want everyone to ride, healthy forever!!
