• Acai - pronounced "Ah C I" is a Brazilian super fruit
•  Acai has healthy fats, dietary fiber and a strong anti oxidant profile 
• Be careful - the sorbet form of Acai has a high suger content. Acai by itself is very bitter
• Two ways to juice: 1) Cold Press Juicers (a.k.a. Masticating Juicers) These newer juicers extract juice by first crushing and then pressing fruit and vegetables for the highest juice yield. Because they don't produce as much heat, they keep more of the fresh ingredients' nutrients intact. 2) More common method is Centrifugal juicers work by using a flat cutting blade on the bottom of a rapidly spinning strainer. The cut produce is forced against the juicing strainer through the use of centrifugal force. With this method, its best to consume within 15 minutes to retain nutritional value.
• Berry Salad: Suvi chicken, sliced almonds, feta cheese, romaine lettuce, spring mix, sunflower sprouts, strawberries and balsamic dressing
• Buffalo dressing: Greek yogurt base (from goat milk), franks red hot sauce and you can also add canyon pepper 
• Balsamic dressing: Extra virgin olive oil, mustard and balsamic dressing 
• To keep Avocados from browning: Lime citrus zest
• To keep pears and apples from browning: put into water with lemon
• Tip for bananas: Buy green tip, harder to open but make for a nicer presentation
