Due to a passing in the family a few years ago and my subsequent health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for years after the bereavement. Thank you for the opportunity.
A beautifully displayed cookbook, Acai Super Berry Cookbook has some great recipes. It includes some substitutions. Overall, the recipes are easy to make and I can't wait to try out one of the smoothies in the book.
Gut gemacht, mit vielen Fotos und Tipps.
Dennoch mit Vorsicht zu geniessen, da auch hier Chiasamen angepriesen werden. Angeblich gibt es keine unbelasteten, wirklich gesunden Chiasamen auf dem Markt.
I'm still not a big fan of acai in certain foods (sorry, I'm never going to add it to fudge; I'm a purist in that regard), but this book gives a comprehensive list of ways to use it. My family doesn't really like smoothies, either, which this book is a great resource for, too.
Acai Super Berry Cookbook is a very well put together cookbook. There are pictures for every recipe which is nice. I think one of the best things is that at the beginning of the book they cover the unique superfood items that appear in some of the recipes as well as which specific product they recommend and even potential alternate ingredients that one can use.
I cannot eat raw banana so the vast majority of these recipes are not ones I will make but there are about nine smoothies and bowls that do not contain bananas as the thickening ingredient. There is a nice mix of straight fruit based recipes to veggie mixes and even coffee, chocolate, or PB & J versions. I will definitely give some of these a try.
Acai is a delicious addition to healthful meals and this gorgeous cookbook features 55+ scrumptious recipes using the Brazilian superfruit in an array of ways — smoothies and smoothie bowls, energy bars and muffins, even brownies and fudge and popsicles. Think I’ll start with the dark chocolate, acai and coffee smoothie. Heaven! 5/5

This book about the Acai “fruit that cries” Super Berry offers an adequate introduction to this super food and offers about 50 recipes on Acai Smoothies, Bowl and Sweet Treats. Those that are familiar with the nutrient properties of this berry will be looking i to incorporating Acai into their diets and will definitely be using this book as a reference to preparation. The pictures chosen were really thought out well. I love the tips incorporated throughout that helps a lot!! This is an awesome book for those wanting to take advantage of the positive health properties of the Acai super food.
Thank you to the author, publishers and netgalley for allowing me to have access to this ARC and provide a thoughtful review.
I received this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. This book was super easy to use and the ingredients aren't difficult to find. I'm looking forward to using more recipes.
Apparently acai is helpful for some fibromyalgia patients, so I figured I'd give it a try - and then I found this book right at the same time! Most of the recipes in this book are for smoothies or smoothie bowls - many of which sound delicious - though there are a handful of baked good recipes. I do wish there was more information on other ways to use the powder (for example, can you use it in other recipes as a flavoring? Does that taste or texture impact what other ingredients you should use? Does cooking the powder change its health-benefit properties?). Anyway, looking forward to trying some of these ideas out very soon.
Easy to follow recipes that actually turn out as good as they look. I found myself utilizing this book more than once when planning menus for the week.
My family loves Acai bowls so I was really excited for this book. The photography in this book is so beautiful and I love that they have a photo of each recipe. I also love the beginning section which talks about the different ingredients and what the health benefits are. The recipes are really unique and great, but most have some unusual ingredients that could be tricky to find.
