So, the new craze is Acai berries/juice. I bought some last night in it's pure form and it is quite yucky. I'll have to mix it with something! Anyone else ventured out to try this yet? How's it working for you?

I tried it too, the juice too and I didn't like it
I tried but I didn't get it again. Mixing it sounds like a good idea but what do you mix it with?

Fuze has a flavor with acai berries and pomegranate. It is pretty good, but kind of pricey. They sell it at the store in my office lobby.

My friend swears by it. She even brought a bottle to work, so the rest of us could try it. I just can't quite get past the taste.

I mixed it with another kind of Acai berry and blueberry juice, and it was tolerable.

I've had them in tea and I couldn't taste much except blueberries! I'll have to try them alone sometime.

That's what I read, anyway.
Rachel Ray and Oprah had talked highly of them on their shows, too.
