Fortunately, with the introduction of superfoods (the likes of Acai (ah-sah-ee) berry) into the realm of food, our lives are now healthier and sweeter. With the inclusion of acai bowls and smoothies into our everyday meals today, you can now enjoy a sinfully-sweet indulgence without fretting about the calories.
