INTRODUCTION

A species of the palm tree, the acai palm, is cultivated for the acai berry and hearts of palm. The word acai literally means “fruit that cries,” or fruit that expels water. It is a berry that rapidly ferments, and because of this we typically find it in dried powder form and frozen puree form. This berry is native to Brazil, Trinidad, and other countries in northern South America. Mainly growing in swamps and floodplains, it has been a staple of the Ribeirinhos people for thousands of years. There are so many unique descriptions of its flavor: not sweet like a typical berry, bitter, chocolaty aftertaste, earthy, rich, and milky. I think this is why it lends itself so wonderfully to smoothies and smoothie bowls, because it is a berry of many flavor profiles. Its popularity has grown tremendously with the current focus on healthy eating. Although acai has been a staple food in the Amazon River delta, its source of energy replacement and “superfood” qualities have recently made it a staple in health and nutrition stores and restaurants. It is said that a family of martial artists included it in puree form for training athletes, and then it began to appear on menus in Rio as an ice cream‑like treat. Acai was pretty unknown until two Californian surfing brothers were wowed by its energy‑boosting properties and found a way to import the frozen stuff to North America. Its nutrition breakdown is quite remarkable. In its frozen form, 3.5 ounces (100 g) has 247 calories, and acai has higher antioxidant levels than blueberries. In its

6

freeze‑dried form, 1.75 ounces (50 g) has 265 calories, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of protein, and 16 grams of fat, mostly stemming form oleic acid and monounsaturated fat. The powdered form is particularly rich in calcium and vitamin A. This tiny berry also offers the highest phytochemical content of any fruit or vegetable. These phytochemicals, especially anthocyanin and phenolic acid, are plant compounds that offer disease‑fighting properties that benefit our health in many different ways. Let’s chat about why the acai berry is so incredibly healthy.

Nutrient dense: The acai berry is unique for a fruit. It is high in good fats and low in sugar. Antioxidant load: The acai berry is loaded with antioxidants. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) score typically measures the antioxidant levels of foods. Just 3.5 ounces (100 g) of acai pulp has an ORAC score of 15,405, whereas the blueberry has a score of 4,669 for the same amount. Specifically, the antioxidant anthocyanin may lower oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting brain health. Anthocyanins have been shown to not only enhance but also improve memory, reduce the risk of heart attacks in young and middle‑aged women, and aid in anticancer activities. Brain function: We’ve touched on how the acai berry may improve brain

function, but it definitely deserves a little more attention. Many studies have been done on how the antioxidant in acai, anthocyanin, counteracts the detrimental effects of inflammation and oxidation on brain cells. This inflammation negatively affects memory and learning processes. One of the main ways that acai has been shown to help with brain function is in its ability to “clean house.” As our brain ages, the process of cleaning up the toxic brain cells that are no longer working properly, known as autophagy, is slowed down and less efficient. However, acai extract helps stimulate this neuronal housekeeping function.

Anticancer: No one food has the ability to stop cancer, but some superfoods have been shown to have anticancer properties. Acai has demonstrated great potential in this area due to its high antioxidant levels. Cholesterol levels: Studies have shown that the regular consumption of acai pulp can help lower blood cholesterol levels and decrease the chances of heart disease by decreasing LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol and improving HDL, or “good,” cholesterol. Skin health: Acai is being used in beauty products because of its high antioxidant levels. But the fruit is not only topically beneficial: eating acai berries is incredible for increasing skin density and promoting that natural glow we all crave.

Superfood is a term thrown around a lot in our vocabulary lately. What is a superfood and how is acai one? Superfood is a nonmedical term that has been popularized by the media. It refers to foods that have great health‑promoting properties due to their high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, or other nutrients that have been shown to reduce the risk for disease and improve physical or emotional health. Acai is considered a superfood because it has super‑high levels of antioxidants and helps reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer, lowers LDL cholesterol, and improves brain function. How can you use acai in your diet? Acai comes in two main forms: as a frozen pulp (puree) in 3.5‑ounce (100‑g) packets and as a powder. The frozen pulp is excellent for smoothies, smoothie bowls, ice pops, sorbets, gelato, frozen yogurt, iced tea, and granitas. The powdered form is great in sweet treats such as brownies, muffins, cupcakes, fudge, granola, waffles, energy balls, and pancakes. In this book, I have broken down our use of acai into three main sections. I’ve started with smoothies, then smoothie bowls, and then miscellaneous sweet treats. Not only have I included acai in every single recipe, but I have also added other incredible superfoods, including chia seeds, spirulina, baobab, cacao, and maca. These other superfoods can be left out, but they do make each recipe unique and highly nutritious.

10:03 AM 10:08 AM

Here is a list of the superfoods that I have included in this book, and if I’ve found an amazing source, I have included that as well. Always store these superfoods in a cool, dark, dry place to prevent spoilage.

1. Chia seeds: High in omega‑3 fatty acids and fiber, chia seeds are

also a good source of calcium, potassium, and copper. Buy chia seeds in their whole seed form, not ground.

2. Unsweetened coconut flakes: Coconut is high in omega‑3 fatty

acids, fiber, phosphorus, and iron. Buy unsweetened coconut.

3. Turmeric: This incredible spice contains a powerful compound called curcumin, which is anti‑inflammatory, aids digestion, fights cancer, eases arthritis, and lowers the risk of heart attacks. Certified organic turmeric is best; avoid powder with any additives and fillers. This ensures that the turmeric is of the highest quality and has the greatest curcumin content. 4. Maca: This powerful compound contains eight essential amino acids, fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium. It is also a great hormone‑balancing substance. When buying maca powder, always choose organic maca root. My favorite brand is Healthworks Maca Powder Peruvian Raw Organic. 5. Cacao: This superfood is rich in flavonoids, decreases LDL

cholesterol, increases HDL cholesterol, reduces inflammation, and improves blood sugar levels. Always buy organic, unsweetened cacao. One of the best sources is cacao nibs.

6. Ginger root: This powerful root is anti‑inflammatory, helps regulate blood sugar, and relieves gastrointestinal distress. You can buy this in pure root form, peel it, and add it to smoothies, or buy it in organic powdered form. 7. Moringa: This nutrient powerhouse contains twenty‑five times more iron than spinach and is a great source of zinc and magnesium. Always buy organic moringa leaf powder. Some of my favorite brands are Pura Vida, Organic Veda, Maju Superfoods, and Only Natural.

8. Camu camu: This berry has a potent punch of vitamin C; 1 teaspoon

provides 118 percent of the daily recommended intake. Terrasoul Superfoods and Kiva Organics make two of my favorite products.

9. Mangosteen: This superfood is high in fiber, low in calories, and has a good serving of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. It also contains major cancer‑fighting agents. When buying mangosteen, always buy organic. My favorite brand is Terrasoul Superfoods.

10. Matcha: This tea is full of catechins, an antioxidant that has been shown to help fight and possibly prevent cancer. This compound has a rich spring green color and is always best when purchased organic. A couple of my favorite brands are Encha Matcha, Pure Matcha, and Mizuba Tea Matcha. 11. Cayenne: This spice is rich in potassium, manganese, flavonoids, and vitamins C, B6, and E. Cayenne has been shown to ease an upset stomach, ulcers, sore throats, coughs, and diarrhea. It is also a great digestive aid.

12. Almonds: This nut has natural calming properties, as it is rich in

stress‑reducing vitamins and minerals like magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E. For the smoothie and smoothie bowl recipes in this book, always purchase organic raw almonds.

13. Cardamom: This spice is a great source of potassium, calcium, and

magnesium and contains volatile oils, such as pinene, sabinene, myrcene, phellandrene, and limonene, all of which aid digestion, making this spice an excellent addition to your smoothies, smoothie bowls, and baked goods. Always buy organic high‑quality cardamom.

14. Baobab: This antioxidant‑rich superfood is very high in vitamin C, which helps in the production of collagen and elastin. Calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, and potassium are all contained in baobab. My favorite brand of baobab is Kaibae, which is superior in quality and also gives back to the farmers producing it. I am almost ready to set you free into the world of acai deliciousness, but first I want to talk about substitutions for these recipes. I believe in the power of plants, and that is shown in my love of plant‑based milks and yogurts in each of these recipes. However, feel free to swap them out for Greek yogurt or cow’s milk if you prefer.

Dark Chocolate, S ERVE S

e e f f o C d n a , i a c A

This smoothie is a perfect way to start the morning: think of it as a superfood chocolate coffee beverage! Cold‑brewed coffee is far less acidic than coffee brewed hot, giving it a sweeter taste because of its lower acidity. Coffee contains many phytochemicals, antioxidants, and other nutrients that our bodies find beneficial. Its greater alkalinity makes this coffee beverage an excellent start to the day with less chance for acid reflux. Cold‑brewed coffee is available in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores or can be brewed by steeping coarse‑ground coffee beans in a coffee filter, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag overnight or up to 12 hours. It does take a long time to steep, so make a big batch and store it in the refrigerator for easy access.

METHOD OF PREPARATION Add the ingredients in the order listed to a high‑powered blender. Puree until thick and creamy. Serve immediately. Mint garnish optional.

This creamy smoothie gets its monounsaturated fatty acids from the cashew nut. Cashews contain less fat than most other nuts, but the healthy fat that they do contain is essential for a properly functioning metabolism. Additionally, the American Heart Association states that monounsaturated fatty acids can help reduce “bad” cholesterol, and lower the risk for heart disease and stroke. This little delicious nut also contains 5 grams of protein.

This smoothie contains a wonderful vegan source of protein made from yellow split peas. This protein source is great for those with whey or casein allergies. It is a rich source of plant‑based iron; lysine, an essential amino acid that builds connective tissue like skin, cartilage, and bones; and magnesium, a mineral that plays a vital role in muscle movement and DNA repair. It is naturally free of gluten, cholesterol, and saturated fat and is a low‑glycemic food. Phew! This protein‑packed smoothie not only tastes great but will also keep you full all morning.

Acai Smoothie

This creamy smoothie is super hydrating. Coconut water, not to be mistaken with coconut milk, is free from fat and cholesterol and contains electrolytes, minerals like potassium and sodium. Maintaining a balance of electrolytes is essential for hydration, especially when sweating. Think of coconut water as nature’s sports drink!

INGREDIENTS 7 ounces (200 g) frozen, unsweetened acai puree 2 medium frozen bananas, peeled 3 cups (705 ml) coconut water 1 cup (240 g) coconut yogurt 2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted

METHOD OF PREPARATION Add the ingredients (except the coconut flakes) in the order listed to a high‑powered blender. Puree until thick and creamy. Garnish with the toasted coconut and melted dark chocolate, if you wish, then serve immediately.

32

TRY THIS! You can make your own coconut yogurt with two ingredients! All you need is one 14-ounce (113 g) can of full-fat coconut milk + two capsules of vegan-friendly probiotic capsules. Shake your coconut milk really well and pour into a clean, sterilized, dry, glass jar or bowl. Empty your probiotic capsules into the yogurt and using a wooden or plastic spoon, stir well to incorporate. Cover with cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band. Let the yogurt activate for 24 to 48 hours in a warm place. Once it’s as thick and tangy as you like, cover securely with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until cold. Store in fridge for up to 7 days.

Pineapple, Acai, Coconut,

and Cayenne Smoothie

S ERVE S

This smoothie is super interesting and some might even be a little reluctant to try it, but let me tell you why cayenne is such a superfood. Cayenne is rich in multiple vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, B6, and E, potassium, manganese, and flavonoids, which have been shown to ease upset stomach, ulcers, sore throats, irritating coughs, and diarrhea, as well as being known as a digestive aid. Cayenne stimulates the digestive tract, increasing the flow of enzyme production and gastric juices, which in turn boosts metabolism and can help the body get rid of toxins. Combining cayenne with sweet pineapple, acai, and coconut gives this smoothie a delightful sweet kick!

TIP If you cannot find frozen pineapple, cut up a ripe pineapple and place on a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the freezer. Once frozen, add to a Ziploc bag and freeze until needed.

46

INGREDIENTS 3.5 ounces (100 g) frozen, unsweetened acai puree 1 cup (150 g) frozen organic pineapple 1 frozen banana, peeled 2 cups (470 ml) coconut water ¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne powder, to taste

Acai, Mango, and Pineapple Smoothie

S ERVE S

This is another delightful tropical smoothie bowl filled with some nutritional powerhouses: mango, acai, and mangosteen. We’ve talked about mangosteen’s vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant content, but one thing I haven’t discussed is mangosteen’s use in treating Alzheimer’s disease, fighting acne, repairing cells, fighting cancer, and lowering blood pressure. This little fruit has been part of traditional medicine in various Asian countries for a long time and is finally getting the attention it deserves elsewhere, too.

METHOD OF PREPARATION 1

Run the acai packet under warm water for 10 seconds.

2

In a high‑powered blender, add the acai, mango, pineapple, mangosteen powder, and coconut milk. Blend until smooth. Divide between two bowls.

Blackberry, Rosewater, and

Acai Smoothie Bowl

S ERVE S

Wow, this smoothie bowl is simply otherworldly! The addition of rosewater may seem strange, but there are so many health benefits.

Plus it contains powerful antioxidants, which protect cells from damage, and has been shown to positively influence digestion and relieve stomach upset.

INGREDIENTS 3.5 ounces (100 g) frozen, unsweetened acai puree 1 frozen banana, peeled 1½ cups (225 g) frozen organic blackberries 2 tablespoons (16 g) flaxseed meal 2 teaspoons rosewater ½ to ¾ cup (120 to 180 ml) unsweetened almond milk

Buy a couple of extra super sweet melons, then peel, chop, and freeze them for this bowl—you won’t be sorry for the little bit of extra work.

Goji berries are also high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron. This powerful antioxidant is a great inflammation fighter as well.

METHOD OF PREPARATION

Probiotic Acai,

Mango,

and Turmeric

Smoothie Bowl

S ERVE S

I am a huge fan of the pre‑ and probiotic to ensure a healthy digestive tract! Pre‑ and probiotics need each other to work properly. The mango, because of its nondigestible fiber content, is a good prebiotic. Kefir, a good probiotic, helps balance the friendly bacteria in your digestive tract, and helps prevent and treat diarrhea. These incredible probiotics have also been shown to reduce the severity of certain allergies and eczema. A plant‑based kefir is now available as well!

METHOD OF PREPARATION

INGREDIENTS 3.5 ounces (100 g) frozen, unsweetened acai puree 1 cup (170 g) frozen organic mango chunks 1 seedless navel orange, peeled 2 teaspoons turmeric powder 1 teaspoon chia seeds 1½ cups (355 ml) kefir

Optional Toppings

It’s a good source of fiber, has lots of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, and contains vitamin B6, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, and zinc. This nut has also been shown to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and the antioxidants it contains are a great rejuvenator for skin and hair.

You can feel great about indulging in these super fudgy brownies with your family. Loaded with oats, acai, raw cacao, protein powder, pumpkin, and maple syrup, they should be called superfood brownies! The crunch you get from the cacao nibs is just an extra delightful bonus.

INGREDIENTS 2 cups (240 g) ground oat flour ½ cup (60 g) acai powder ½ cup (60 g) raw cacao powder ¼ cup (30 g) vanilla‑flavored plant‑based protein powder 2

⁄3 teaspoon baking soda

METHOD OF PREPARATION 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Grease an 8 x 8‑inch (20 x 20‑cm) nonstick brownie pan and line it with parchment paper; set aside.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, acai powder, raw cacao powder, protein powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and lemon juice.

3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and blend with a wooden spoon until just combined. Stir in the cacao nibs.

4

Spread into the prepared baking pan and transfer to the oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with few crumbs—more for fudgier brownies, less for drier brownies.

5

Remove from the oven and cool before cutting into 12 rectangles.

Pinch of salt 2 cups (480 g) canned 100% organic pumpkin puree 2

⁄3 cup (160 ml) maple syrup

2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh squeezed lemon juice ½ cup (65 g) cacao nibs

108

TIP Brownies are great straight out of the freezer. If there are any leftovers, store the extras in an airtight container for a frozen treat!

Acai, Banana, and Chai Pancakes MAK E S 12 L ARG E PAN C AK E S

INGREDIENTS 2 cups (240 g) almond meal ¾ cup (60 g) unsweetened shredded coconut ¼ cup (30 g) acai powder ½ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom ¼ teaspoon ground ginger 6 large eggs ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond or coconut milk 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup 4 tablespoons (60 g) coconut oil, divided 3 bananas, peeled and sliced

Optional Toppings ½ cup (75 g) chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds ½ cup (40 g) unsweetened shredded coconut 2 bananas, sliced Maple syrup

These pancakes scream “autumn” and are such a delightful warming treat. You can easily make these all plant‑based by switching out the eggs for aquafaba. Aquafaba is the starchy liquid you typically drain and throw away from a can of chickpeas. To measure and substitute for the amount of eggs needed, simply shake a can of unopened chickpeas vigorously. Drain the chickpeas through a fine‑mesh strainer over a bowl (reserve the chickpeas for later use) and then whisk the aquafaba to measure. One whole egg is equal to 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of frothy aquafaba.

METHOD OF PREPARATION 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond meal, coconut, acai powder, salt, and spices.

2

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and maple syrup. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just incorporated; do not overmix.

3

Melt 1 tablespoon (15 g) of the coconut oil in a large nonstick sauté pan or griddle pan over medium heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium‑low and add heaping tablespoons (15 g) of the pancake mixture. Add banana slices to each uncooked side of the pancake.

4

Once the pancakes have cooked on the first side for about 5 minutes and are golden, very carefully flip over to the other side. Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the second side. Keep the cooked pancakes warm and continue with the remaining batter, coconut oil, and bananas.

5

Top with your desired toppings and serve immediately.

Acai, Cacao, and Walnut MAK E S 20 B ITE S

Energy bites are all the rage in my house, kind of like a magical raw cookie dough with tons of health benefits! These little chocolate‑almond‑date bites are a great energy source during a long run or other intense workout, or even as an after‑school snack.

METHOD OF

PREPARATION 1

INGREDIENTS 1 cup (180 g) pitted and packed Medjool dates 2 cups (300 g) raw walnuts 6 tablespoons (48 g) unsweetened cacao powder 2 tablespoons (18 g) hemp seeds 1 tablespoon (8 g) acai powder ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt 3 tablespoons (45 g) creamy almond or peanut butter 1 tablespoon (15 g) coconut oil, melted

For Rolling 2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened shredded coconut 2 tablespoons (16 g) acai powder 2 tablespoons (16 g) unsweetened cacao powder

112

Energy Bites In the bowl of a food processor, add the dates and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.

2

Add the walnuts to the food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the cacao powder, hemp seeds, acai powder, and salt. Pulse a couple of times to combine, but do not overmix.

3

Add the dates back to the food processor bowl, along with the nut butter and melted coconut oil. Pulse to combine, resulting in a dough‑like mixture.

4 Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Scoop out tablespoons (15 g) and roll into balls. Having slightly wet hands helps this process. 5

Spread the coconut, acai powder, and cacao powder on each of three plates. Roll the balls in the toppings as desired. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
