This mixture gives acai juice a slightly sweeter taste than the whole fruit, but it also contains many nutrients that are destroyed during the juicing process. For example, one cup of unsweetened acai juice provides approximately the same amount of antioxidants as blueberries, oranges, and strawberries. However, it has no fiber, which is beneficial for weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, due to added sweeteners and the lack of fiber, most acai juices will add more calories than they subtract. This is why you should always read the label and look for a juice that contains 100% pure acai juice with no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Also, acai juice probably contains less antioxidants than acai pulp (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18693743\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe is your fast-track ticket to a long-lasting weight loss! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Acai_Berries_Facts\">Tailor your fitness journey and maximize your results<\/a> with just a couple of swipes!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Acai_Berries_Facts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799.png\" alt=\"benefits of acai\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799.png 960w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_The_Concentrated_Extract\"><\/span><strong>What About The Concentrated Extract?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many companies use a concentrated extract of acai berry to produce dietary supplements.

This means that the pulp must be broken down by your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when they are not in season, whole frozen berries can be purchased online or in health food stores. You can also freeze whole berries yourself. Berries that are frozen while fresh contain the same amount of antioxidants as fresh berries. When you freeze whole acai berries at the peak of ripeness they will contain even more nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should eat acai berries with foods that contain healthy fats because this will help your body absorb all of the nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people like to add them to their cereal or yogurt in the morning, but you can also blend them into a smoothie or juice for breakfast so they will absorb more easily.
