Superfoods in my Cocktail

First there was the Pomegranate Martini. POM was sold out of every store within a 100 mile radius of me, I'm sure. Now, it seems like the Superfood of the month is the Acai. It's a berry with the protein profile of an egg and has 30 times the heart-friendliness...

First there was the Pomegranate Martini. POM was sold out of every store within a 100 mile radius of me, I'm sure. Now, it seems like the Superfood of the month is the Acai. It's a berry with the protein profile of an egg and has 30 times the heart-friendliness of red wine. Wow, huh? That's what I thought anyway. Who knows if it works the same way when drowned in Vodka and sugar, but it can't be all bad!

If it were available anywhere around here I might try it. Whole Foods carries the juice, and has a few frozen options, too. That definately beats nothing, and if I'm making a cocktail I'm not going to be squeezing each individual berry. I'm sure as the seasons change they will get a batch of the berries themselves in their produce department. Until then, I guess I'll have to stick to getting my protein and nutrients in liquid form!
