Acai drinks are a delicious and convenient way to get the nutrients you need from the berries and are often a blend of juices from other highly nutritious fruits such as blueberry, pomegranate and raspberry.  This means that you not only get the benefit of the nutrients in the acai, but also the large range of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found in the other fruits.  If you prefer, The acai drinks are also available in 100% pure juice versions without the added blueberry, pomegranate and raspberry and are usually a little more expensive than the blended juice drinks.

As with the fresh fruits themselves, the juice drinks contain natural nutrients such as antioxidants (said to reduce cell damage and help slow ageing), essential amino acids (help repair muscle damage from exercise), essential fatty acids (thought to help reduce blood pressure), vitamins (essential nutrients the body requires), minerals (also essential nutrients required by the body) and fibre (for a healthy digestive system) .

Once harvested from the Açaí Palm, the berries are soaked to soften the thin shell on the outside of the fruit, and then pressed to extract the juice.  In the Amazon region of Brazil, the local caboclo people drink a large amount of this juice, served cold either with or without sugar and tapioca.  For these indigenous people, Açaí berries account for up to 42% by weight of their diet.

Herbal medicine in Brazil also uses oil extracted from the fruit in the treatment of diarrhoea, and the rind of the fruits has been used as a natural treatment for skin ulcers.  Crushed seeds from the fruits have also been used to treat people with high temperatures.

The juice has been recommended by some people for weight loss. At the moment there seems to be no evidence for this.  This means that this product can't be recommended as a fat-burning drink.  It is, however, a good additional source of nutrients for people on calorie-controlled diets.
