The 10-Day Acai-Powered Wellness Challenge

This is it! This is your time to shine. Give this challenge just ten days of your time and attention, and get ready to feel better than you have in years. As a reward for making it to the end of the challenge, you’ll find that the recommended recipes get a bit sweeter as you go along. (Not into the sweet stuff? Go ahead and substitute those recipes for any of the other ones in the challenge.)

Each recipe creates two servings: one to use as your morning smoothie-bowl base and one to drink as your afternoon snack. If the base is a little too thick for your taste, just stir in a bit of liquid to dilute it. You could simply use water, or you could add a flavor boost with some nondairy milk or unsweetened juice. Remember, this challenge is all about creating healthy habits you can live with for the long run. Don’t be afraid to tweak the snacks, meals, and smoothies to suit you!
