Pomegranate is about to jump the shark. The spoiler? The acai berry.
This Brazilian fruit culled from the rain forests is purported to be the antioxidant to beat all antioxidants. Run a Google search on acai and the words “destroys cancer cells” is the first to pop up. Apparently this berry has been on Oprah ( but it prob. got lost on the couch causing us to miss it). So why am I the last to know about this? Seems the berry’s wonder properties, from anti-aging to great skin, are just becoming known in the North East. I encountered acai in drink form last week at Life Alive. Two healthy looking representatives from Monavie, a Utah-based company that makes the power drink, poured me a thimbleful and (no placebo effect here) I immediately perked up. They gave me a bottle (a stylish wine shape) to get started. My husband and I have had a shot each morning and night since last Wed. and in short we are hooked. It is not avail at Whole Foods, this is a network marketing company.You can only order it on-line ... More later when I find more Monavie.
