Brazil: Delicious Acai

In search of a better quality of life, fulfilling our dreams to see the world and provide ourselves and young children with invaluable experiences, we sold our home and possessions in London to begin our journey of a lifetime. Here we will share our tips, stories, successes and failures, not only for our families and friends, but also to assist those who may have similar adventures in mind. We hope also to inspire those who relish the idea of travelling to newer and unfamiliar pastures but do not know how and those who require some evidence it can be done.

Brazil: Delicious Acai

Whenever I visit Itacare (the nearest town) to do our shopping, I usually stop for some Acai na tigela.

Acai is a berry found in the Amazon, the Brazilian coast and in Peru. It’s extremely high in antioxidants and vitamin C, contains carbohydrates and proteins, and tastes great, too.

Whether you are vegan or not, try some whenever you can. It's so satisfying. In Brazil it seems to be sold almost everywhere. It was one of the first foods we ate when we arrived (in Sao Paulo airport).

Acai na tigela (which means Acai in the bowl) comes in different forms. Some are thick and ice cream-like, while others I have tried are runnier.

The Acai is sometimes blended with cashews for thickness and cacao. Usually, it is topped with granola and sliced banana, but this is optional.

For around R5 (less than £2.50) it’s a good value meal.

Our cat has a breathtaking coat, she is about 2 to 5 years outdated (shelter cat!) and functions like a kitten, has the zoomies all more than the property, and is as healthy as being a horse. She's 100 % free fed the Style from the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Components, and as significantly as she does consume, she is definitely the ideal excess weight. I hope we never need to get any other brand..

Brazil: Ronaldinho Will Never Be The Same AS a football enthusiast, I've always admired watching the Brazilians play. I followed all their stars: Rivelinho, Romario, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Robinho, Roberto Carlos...the list goes on. There's a reason, though, I have singled out the players with letters beginning in the letter 'R'. I just discovered, while slowly learning Brazilian...
