Acerola

Problem is, superfruits are often hard to come by at your local grocery store. SO, drink your superfruits. Which is where you often come to yet another problem: sugar, calories, and fillers. Many "fruit" juices are really sugar drinks flavored with fruit juice- sometimes containing as little as 3% juice. You will get more of the nutrient-rich benefits and ingest less calories if you look for superfruit juices in their purest form and just lightly sweetened with natural sweeteners that are low on the glycemic index like agave. Bossa Nova has a full-line of superfruit juices only lightly sweetened with natural agave and they only have 110-130 calories per bottle, so you're not breaking your calorie bank.
Start your day the Smart & Skinny way: by replacing your OJ with superfruit juice.
