Vegetarian Means Vegan, Right?

Actually vegetarians tend to differ from what Vegans consider themselves to be. The exact reasons for why, evade me at the moment.

I eat plenty of vegetables but also enjoy eggs so I think this means I may be a vegetarian but I am not a vegan because eggs are not on their menu. I need to watch my calories and weight.

Veganism, if I may, seems to be more like a religion than just a healthy eating regime. I think the term is applied to not only eggs but even to wearing things that may have once been alive, like leather.

I have no feelings on this one way or another and think our life choices are just that, our life choices.

Organic Acai Berry Juice

By Pete Berry

Buy organic acai berry juice and enjoy its benefits. With all these claims how do you know your getting the best acai berry juice available? Many brands are diluted with other juices know as blends and mixes.

You should be looking for 100% pure organic acai berry juice. With a shortage of this berry on the market and the fact it needs to be processed at the source makes it an expensive product. You owe it to yourself to get 100% pure acai berry products.

Acai juice and powder will mix well with your favorite juice. It also mixes well with yogurt and makes great smoothies. Mix acai with blueberry or grape juice and you have an enjoyable beverage.

Acai berries grow on the acai palm and are similar in shape and size to blueberries. The natives of Brazil have enjoyed acai for hundreds of years. The local population has used for tasty acai bowls in recipes and beverages.

What makes acai amazing is its properties. Acai is loaded with essential fatty acids also known as omega oils and fiber. The oils is what makes it very perishable and needs to be processed soon after harvest. The berries are processed into puree, juice or freeze dried powder.

What you want is 100% pure organic acai not something mixed with other juices or products. Why shopping for capsules and powders look for ones that are 100% pure and contains no fillers or binders. Acai powder that is pure will be a very dark purple color and tend to cling.

If you are not sure and it is not listed 100% pure call the company. Still not sure there should be an oily sheen on the top of the juice. If it is a powder mix a few teaspoons in a glass of water and you should see an oily sheen on the surface.

What you are looking for on the label is one hundred percent organic acai. You should see this on the label. If you are unsure check out the company's website to find a certificate of organic certification.
