Acai Brazilian 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 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.
