Acai Milkshake

Refreshing and indulgent, the milkshake is the perfect drink for sunny days. At Nossa!, we’re reinventing this frozen classic by adding a healthy twist thanks to the benefits of acai. 

In just two steps, you too can make this energizing recipe! 

WHY IS THIS MILKSHAKE PERFECT FOR SUMMER?

This milkshake will give you energy and boost your health, all while offering the indulgence of a frozen dessert. 

In fact, the flavor of acai—a blend of berries and hints of cocoa—adds a unique and indulgent taste to your milkshake. But this superfruit also offers numerous health benefits.

ANTIOXIDANT

Acai has powerful antioxidant properties, ten times stronger than those of blueberries, for example, another fruit often used in milkshakes. These antioxidants slow down cellular aging, help maintain youthful-looking skin, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

HIGH IN FIBER

Acai, which is high in fiber, aids digestion and helps curb your appetite, making this milkshake the perfect snack. Its high fiber content slows down the digestion of sugars, thereby reducing the spike in blood sugar levels after a meal. After drinking an acai milkshake, you’ll feel full longer, without that heavy feeling you get from a rich dessert. 

ESSENTIAL MINERALS

One of the benefits of this milkshake is that acai is rich in essential minerals (iron, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, etc.). These minerals help boost energy levels. It’s the perfect drink to recharge your batteries after a long day in the sun.  

ANTI-CHOLESTEROL

Acai is also known for its cholesterol-lowering properties. Rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, it provides sustained energy, promotes healthy blood circulation, and helps lower “bad” cholesterol levels. Enjoyed as a frozen drink, this indulgent treat is a treat for both your taste buds and your health. 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MILKSHAKE AND A SMOOTHIE? 

The main difference between a milkshake and a smoothie is their ingredients—and, as a result, their respective benefits! 

Smoothies are all about freshness and lightness: they’re mostly made from blended fruit (or even vegetables), sometimes with a little juice or plant-based milk added.
They’re therefore a drink rich in vitamins and fiber, and naturally low in calories. Perfect for a light and nutritious snack. 

A milkshake is a real treat: it combines ice cream, milk, and a rich, sweet ingredient.
Its texture is thicker and creamier. Perfect for treating yourself!  

Our acai milkshake strikes the perfect balance between the indulgence of a frozen dessert and the energy-boosting and antioxidant benefits of acai.

An acai milkshake is perfect for a refreshing snack—but that’s not all! 

This superfruit milkshake is also a great choice for any occasion—whether enjoyed after a meal or as a snack. It’s quick to make and easy to take with you in a shaker or insulated bottle. The acai milkshake is perfect for the whole summer, whether you’re at the office, at the beach, or on the go.
