My experience with this awesome fruit dates back years ago to my first Martial Arts tournament(jiu jitsu), as a young practitioner. I would see the acai station in front of building with large lines of people waiting for their first acai cup.
The cup contained frozen acai blended with raw oatmeal and bananas on top, when I first tried this tasty treat I noticed how delicious it was, if only we had Acai berry cups in school growing up we would not go to candy and other sweets.
The actual feeling of eating this berry is almost like a sustained sugar rush and helps you get your depleted glucose levels up after throwing people around all day, being a Brazilian art (jiu jitsu) it makes sense why they go to the tournaments as a big percentage of people that practice the sport are immersed in Brazilian culture.
After this experience I have always looked to incorporate this fruit in my diet before training sessions as well as look for Powdersthat contain this berry.
