                                The açaí berry's high cost and considerable carbon footprint due to transport can make it an impractical ‘superfood’ choice for many. Fortunately, you don't need exotic berries to enjoy a nutrient-rich smoothie or bowl, as many local, budget-friendly foods offer similar or even superior health benefits.
