I was reading an article yesterday and laughed my @## off at a commenter when they said that our sport (jiu jitsu) is known for a few things--acai bowls and cauliflower ear being chief among them.
It's true, and while cold weather and other assorted factors have kept me off the mat lately, the recent drop in temperature and rampant release of flu bugs makes me rethink the benefit of working a little more "jiu jitsu lifestyle" into our winter. Sure, we don't have the beaches the other schools have in So Cal (yes, I'm jealous), but we've got the sunshine. The blinding, eyeball-burning sunshine (which in Alaska in January usually guarantees that it's well below zero and into the negative digits. Blah.)
We love our local Acai Alaska shop, but the problem is that we just might love ourselves into the poorhouse if we frequent it as much as we'd like. They're not cheap! (For good reason, I know. But still...)
Costco had a special on Acai juice today (two smallish jugs for about $7.50). Can I get a "hooray?"
Hooray!
So, in honor of our half-frozen homage to the jiu jitsu lifestyle, here's a quick Acai smoothie that boasts all the superfood benefits of acai, bananas, and blueberries.
Acai Superfood Smoothie
Blend until smooth:
1 banana
1 cup frozen fruit (we used blueberries)
1 cup Acai juice
1/4 cup water (or more, depending on the consistency you like)
It passed the "Boo" test, too...hence the name "mustache maker." The boy sure loves his "smoomies."
Enjoy the day!
