In just two steps, make this vitality-packed recipe yourself!
WHY IS THIS MILKSHAKE PERFECT FOR SUMMER?
This milkshake will give you energy and boost your health, while retaining the indulgence of an iced dessert.
Indeed, the flavor of acai, combining red berries and cocoa notes, gives your milkshake an original and indulgent taste. But this superfruit also offers many health benefits.
ANTIOXIDANT
Acai has powerful antioxidant properties, ten times stronger than those of blueberries, for example, another fruit often used in a milkshake. These antioxidants slow cellular aging, preserve youthful skin, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
RICH IN FIBER
Rich in fiber, acai aids digestion and has an appetite-suppressing effect, making this milkshake the perfect snack. This high fiber content slows the digestion of sugars, thereby reducing the rise in blood sugar after a meal. After an acai milkshake, you stay full longer, without the heavy feeling of an overly rich dessert.
ESSENTIAL MINERALS
Acai’s wealth of essential minerals (iron, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium…) is one of this milkshake’s benefits. These minerals contribute to good energy production. It’s the ideal drink for recharging your batteries after a long day in the sun.
CHOLESTEROL-LOWERING
Acai also stands out for its cholesterol-lowering properties. Rich in omega-6 and omega-9, it provides lasting energy, promotes good blood circulation, and helps reduce “bad” cholesterol levels. Enjoyed as an iced drink, this delicious preparation pampers your taste buds as much as your health.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MILKSHAKE AND A SMOOTHIE?
The main difference between a milkshake and a smoothie is their composition and, consequently, their respective benefits!
A smoothie is all about freshness and lightness: It is mainly made from blended fruit (or even vegetables), sometimes enhanced with a little juice or plant-based milk.
It is therefore a drink rich in vitamins and fiber, and naturally low in calories. Ideal for a light and nutritious break.
A milkshake is an indulgent treat: It combines ice cream, milk, and a delicious, sweet ingredient.
Its texture is thicker and creamier. Perfect for treating yourself!
Our acai milkshake embodies the ideal compromise between the indulgence of a frozen dessert and the energizing and antioxidant benefits of acai.

This superfruit milkshake is also a strategic drink that can be enjoyed after a meal or even as a snack. It is quick to prepare and easy to carry in a shaker or insulated bottle. The acai milkshake will be your companion all summer, whether at the office, on the beach, or on the go.
