That may be the only juice form available.


Jiuce? It's the pulp...


The taste does have a hint of chocolate.


No, it doesn't...


I've tried three flavors.


I don't think we are talking about the same thing...

(I was happy that I found more info on Acai.)

Anyway, I was trying to add information to the general discussion. I
had access to juice so I posted information about the juice. I was, in
part, concerned with the Internet as being a storage place of
information for the future. To me any Acai information may equate to a
good thing because people may find my posting in the future and be glad
about what they find.

Continuing, the juice has to shaken up just like a lot of other things.
The juice is thick. But, I have never tried the pulp, and you the post
me that opportunity.

Consequently, I have to wait till it comes to my house before I decide
to buy any more. For example, the pulp may not be easy to make a juice
out of, and I might get stuck eating pulp.

How do you prepare your pulp?

Again many thanks,
Chris Lusardi

I use the traditional Brazilian recipe:

Mix 8 oz. of frozen Acai pulp with half a banana and a tablespoon of
honey in a blender. Pour into a small bowl and add a little bit of
granola on top with the other half of the banana sliced.

I also add 20g or so of whey protein for a more balanced meal.

Tastes great!

Well, I'm a semi-raw-vegetarian, so honey, granola, whey protein are no
no's for me, thinking repeated eatings. I've got enough to play with.

Thank you,
Chris

If you are a strict vegetarian (vegan), I understand why you wouldn't
want whey protein (comes from milk) but honey

The usual way to get honey is to kill a hive of bees, so I get why
honey might be a problem for vegitarians.

and granola I don't get...

Made with honey? Else I don't get it either.

Uh, no, modern honey production does NOT kill the bees.
A properly managed bee hive makes far more honey than the bees can use!
Enough is always left for their consumption.

I'd suggest you read up on apiology

Some people are idiots?

Mostly right. Harvesting a hive does not kill the bees. Most beekeepers
overwinter their hives. Up here in the north, though, it isn't always
feasible and you could end up with a weakened and disease prone hive by
springtime. So most times they are killed off and new queens ordered
from down south in the spring.

True on both points.

Always a fascinating topic.

In addition to everything else I'm trying to be low to mid glycemic
index (load) which wouldn't be good for me.

Quote : page 59 of Eating Well for Optimum Health :
I should also say that various naturally occurring forms of sugar
are essentially the same from the point of view of glycemic index. Eat
honey if you like its taste, but it is not better for you than white
sugar. (It's actually worse for the teeth, because its stickiness keeps
it in contact with dental enamel longer.) It may provide some
micronutrients that sugar does not, but it affects blood sugar just
about the same.

End Quote!

In addition to being low glycemic index, I'm also not into whey protein
and granola because it's man made essentially.

That sux.

Good thing I only buy local honey.
It's good for allergy treatment anyway.

Thanks all, but I may request you to limit your discussions to the
subject of topic..Clour of Foods?

Almost everything I eat is green. At least it's green till I scrape
the mold off....

Hello,

"By eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables - green,
yellow-orange, red, blue-purple, and white - you're giving your body
a wide range of nutrients that are important for good health. Each
color offers something unique, like different vitamins, minerals, and
disease-fighting phytochemicals, that work together to protect your
health. Only fruits and vegetables, not pills or supplements, can give
you these nutrients in the healthy combinations nature intended. Here
are some examples:
http://www.5aday.gov/color/ "

We have scientific understandings that different colored fruits can
effect differently anh have different nutrients which may be common as
per color. Can you tell me that:-

1, Whether fruits of different colours only give differenciating
effects or all other foods and other substances can all effect
differently & specifically by their colors?

2. Which colour is countable in this respect--of skin, of flesh, of
pulp, of plant, of seeds, of juice, of processed food or otherwise?

3. Can different colored fruits be different smell/flavour or taste
specific?

4. What can be the science of "colours producing specific effects" as
per their colors?

5. Whether "Color Therapies" as indicated in CAMs can be scientific in
this sense?

6. How colors can be related to cardiology, diabetology and immunology?

Best wishes.

Can't different people be having craving to eat foods of different
color as you may be having for green?
