This acai berry yogurt is nice and refreshing for breakfast or as an after-dinner dessert. The freeze-dried powder of this amazing berry has been in my freezer for a year because I didn’t really have a habit of drinking it regularly. However, after injuring my shoulder a week ago, I remembered how wonderful it was for preventing sore muscles.
I figured if it’s good for keeping me from getting sore form a work out, it must also be good for healing a torn muscle. I decided to mix a teaspoon of it with water twice a day to see what would happen. I also used my red light belt on the should for twenty minutes, twice a day.
The powder did not dissolve well in the water, so I put it in my yogurt instead. It worked great, and tasted much better!
Benefits of Acai Berry
God’s wonderful plants continue to amaze me with their ability to help us heal! The wonderful properties of this plant are truly a gift. The rich amount of polyphenols help decrease inflammation, while the oxygen radical absorption capacity of this berry helps prevent disease. The berry is loaded with antioxidants has been shown to have the following benefits (1):
- Cardioprotective—yes your heart!
- Renoprotective—your kidneys!
- Hepatoprotectives– the liver!
- Neuroprotective —the nerve cells!
The impressive benefits go on and on…..I am thankful it assisted my red-light therapy belt to improve a potentially serious shoulder injury in 5 days. I went from not being able to raise my right arm to touch my ear to full mobility. I did some light stretches, drank plenty of water, and rested the arm, too. Moreover, the pain relief I felt in just two days was even more impressive.
I’m sure you can find a reputable brand near you to use for this recipe! Here is what I chose “Earthly Choice, Great Day Acai Powder”:
I exalt you, O Lord, for your amazing provision!
