Acai Brazilian
Submitted by: Michelle R.
Recipe Story
I have been a carrier of CF for 20 years and know the difficulty patients have maintaining a healthy weight. I studied Nutrition at the Federal University of Viçosa-UFV in Brazil, my country of origin. Out of curiosity, I entered the Abbott site and found the contest, and decided to send a delicious, high-calorie recipe that can be used frequently. Acai is a fruit derived from the Amazon rainforest and is a hit across the country, especially with athletes and those individuals seeking high-calorie foods, rich in vitamins, minerals and unsaturated fats.
Ingredients
1 pint açaí juice
1 pint sweetened condensed milk
10 strawberries
3 bananas
3 kiwis
Granola, as desired
