Bossa Nova a�a� juices

Açaí (pronounced along the lines of ah-sigh-ee) is just about the ultimate superfood, as the South American berry has a higher concentration of anti-aging antioxidants than any other food out there, is high in fiber and has an "almost perfect essential amino acid complex" that will aid in muscle function. Up until recently it was virtually unknown in commercial foods, but its extraordinarily fast rise to popularity means that it is popping up all over the supermarket these days.

Bossa Nova bottles açaí juice, both pure and blended with other fruit juices, to make it easy for consumers to get the maximum health benefits of the fruit. All of their products are completely organic and they proudly advertise the fact that they work in conjunction with the Rainforest Alliance, so that each bottle you buy saves a tree. They make five flavors, including açaí and açaí blended with raspberry, blueberry, mango and passionfruit. Açaí itself tastes quite similar to blueberry, which will give you an idea of what the flavor combinations taste like, but the excellent drinks are refreshing and give you a little peace of mind that you're doing something good for your body.
