Açai Juice

Popular in South America, the latest craze sweeping the nation is açai (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) juice. Higher in antioxidants than either blueberries or pomegranates, the berry is trying to make a name for itself in the health food market. Problem is, it tastes like cough syrup from the 1970s. I bought a single little bottle to sample and I managed to take about three swallows and couldn't drink any more. I'm going mix it with some cran-pomegranate juice I have to see if I can disguise the taste and still get the benefits but I'm not hopeful.

Buyer beware cause this stuff ain't cheap and it's terrible. Then again, I can't stand the taste of beer, so what do I know about what tastes good according to the rest of the world?
