Bom Dia Acai Berry with Pomegranate Juice

By: Tanya Patrice | Mar 2, 2007

Bom Dia Acai Berry with PomegranateYou have got to check out the Bom Dia website, which is gorgeous, but it is the tropical rainforest sound effects that really set it off [link]. Quite soothing don't you think?

When it comes to antioxidants, acai juice is the best source (currently), with approximately 50% more than pomegranate juice, which is the next best source. Bom Dia (which means good morning in Portuguese) has Acai Juices made with a combination of Cacao, Mangosteen or Pomegranate Juice - which is the one being reviewed. I loved the taste of this beverage better than pomegranate juice only and better than the other acai juices I have previously tried (Bossa Nova and Brazil Gourmet Acai Nectar). It has a sweet yet tart taste, slightly similar to cranberry juice. Finally somebody figured they needed to cut the sweetness of these juices a bit (with natural methods of course). Sure it's a sort of brownish color but don't let that hold you back from trying this. You also get 2 servings of fruit per bottle. The ingredients are acai juice, pomegranate juice (from concentrate), apple juice (from concentrate), guaranara, cabernet sauvignon grape juice, natural flavors and ascorbic acid.

Brazil Gourmet Acai Nectar

By: Tanya Patrice | Jan 30, 2007

Brazil Gourmet Acai Nectar My prediction for 2007 was that we would see a huge growth and surge in popularity in the "super fruits" category. These are fruits (and natural fruit drinks by extension) that have beneficial properties, over and beyond the vitamin supplementation that we see in most drinks these days. (I also think we are going to see these 'super fruits' in everything from cakes to baby foods). Pomegranate would be one example that is already gaining in popularity, but will Acai juice take off too? I hope so, because the acai berry contains 57% more antioxidants than pomegranates!

Brazil Gourmet Acai Nectar is 88% juice and I loved it. You might also be a bit put off by the brown color of the fruit juice (I know I was), but don't be! The flavor is a bit 'unusual' at first. It is sweet and fruity, yet it also has a creamy /milky taste to it.
