Tag: Acai drinks

Despite the 'superfood' label, many commercial acai drinks can be surprisingly high in sugar and calories. So, are acai drinks healthy, or are they just a glorified sugar bomb waiting to spike your blood sugar?

According to Starbucks' official website, a Grande Strawberry Acai Refresher contains 21 grams of sugar. While the açaí berry itself is naturally low in sugar, the Starbucks version relies on a concentrated base that includes white grape juice concentrate and sugar for its sweet flavor profile. This is a common point of confusion for customers seeking a truly healthy, low-sugar option.
