It’s official. Briton’s love smoothies! Sales of the blended fruit drinks have surged by a third over the last year, with shoppers spending £214 million on the healthy drinks.

With a smoothie you can simply add all sorts of fruits to make a delicious drink and get all the health benefits. For the healthiest smoothie possible, include the Acai berry. The easiest way is to add Acai Gold 100% Pure - the only organic, additive-free acai juice sold in the UK.

The Brazilian acai berry is packed full of antioxidants that help fight health problems including high cholesterol, macular degeneration and varicose veins. It’s also a wrinkle-buster, listed as one of the world’s top anti-ageing superfoods by anti-ageing expert Dr Nicholas Perricone.
