Dozens of Dairy-Free Acai Recipes, Including these Cherry Chia Pops

In ACAI Super Berry Cookbook, author Melissa Petitto, RD, presents healthy and delicious recipes—accompanied by gorgeous color photography—that include the Brazilian superfruit acai in tasty and unexpected ways.

The chapters include smoothies, smoothie bowls, and sweet treats, and they contain recipes like these:

• Dark Chocolate, Acai, and Coffee Smoothie
• Hormone-Balancing Blackberry, Acai, Maca, and Cacao Smoothie
• Antinausea Ginger, Lime, and Acai Smoothie
• Mangosteen, Mango, Banana, and Acai Smoothie
• Acai and Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie Bowl

These Acai, Cherry, and Chia Ice Pops are from the Sweet Treats chapter, and I think they might just win you over. The recipe is quick and easy – it just requires patience while the pops freeze! But is’t rich with energizing nutrition.

These omega-3, antioxidant-rich ice pops are far better than the store-bought counterparts. They are made a hundred times more nutritious by the inclusion of acai and chia seeds. Feel free to play around with the fruit added. Instead of cherries, you could add blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
