Yesterday, a bunch of frozen fruit, fat-free milk and acai juice to make smoothies. The recipe came from an episode of Good Eats. I gotta start eating breakfast again.

It was late and I was tired and just grabbed everything I needed off the shelf. It wasn't until I was at the register and the total came to $62.41 that I looked and saw the fucking acai juice cost $40. I thought about putting it back, but for some ungodly reason I thought, "you know, for $40, it's probably some damn good shit..."

So I get home and taste it. It's bland with a hint of meaty fruit in the background. It tastes like they need to add sugar. Thinking it must be the some kind of super-health elixir and that's why it's so expensive, I google around. Apparently, grape juice only costs $3 for an even bigger bottle and has just as many anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants supposing to be the whole thing about acai...

The smoothies aren't spectacular, but I'm a slow riser. They're something easy to eat in the morning when I usually don't feel like eating.



Read how real cranberry juice is suppose to be healthy and cure you of everything that is wrong with you. But I've never seen it in the store before. Googled around and found a few bottles costing $50 - $100+ for one bottle.




Stop worrying about these juices and elixirs. The key is to eat real, actual fruit. Not juices sold in stores. Fruit. Eat it.
