Açaí Sorbet

Açai Sorbet
In its pure state, açaí pulp is sour and slightly bitter, but once a little sweetener is added, the flavor resembles concentrated blueberries with a hint of chocolate. "Agave nectar is a good option here because its lower-glycemic-load sugar is a better complement to açaí's phytonutrients," explains Los Angeles-based nutritionist Ashley Koff, RD.
  • 4 pure açai pulp smoothie packs (4 oz. each), thawed
  • ¾ cup agave nectar
  • 2 Tbs. lemon juice

1. Whisk together all ingredients in bowl. Transfer to 9-inch-square metal baking pan, and place in freezer. Stir with fork every half hour, scraping frozen bits from sides, to keep from freezing into a block. Scoop into bowls, and serve, or store in airtight container up to 1 week.

Amafruits makes pure acai pulp smoothie packs. They use a higher grade of acai pulp than Sambazon, and don't add things like soy lecithin to their acai. Amafruits acai is a thicker, darker acai...easily the most authentic acai similar to what you get in Brazil. You can find Amafruits acai at local grocers around the midwest, smoothie bars across the nation and online at www.amafruits.com.
