I’m on a roll these past few weeks and I needed something to boost me up and cleanse my body. I’ve been cheating on my diet a lot and fear that it will affect my goal of staying fit and healthy. And surprise, surprise because Organique Acai is here to the rescue!
I’ve been hearing a lot of amazing health benefits about it but not enough knowledge (simply no time to Google it lol), and been wanting to try since I’ve first heard about it I think a few years ago. Besides, there are a lot of Acai Berry articles on the net, but friends have been raving about this particular brand and its wonderful effects on their health.
Last April 21, 2016 I was invited for an intimate food tasting media event at Epicurious Restaurant in Shangri-La Plaza Mall featuring Organique Acai. It was a delightful and exclusive food-tasting of the four new Organique Recipes concocted by Chef Sau.
Say what? I didn’t know that Acai Berry and in particular this Organique brand can be included as a food component in recipes or as an ingredient in cooking? But, when I tasted each dish even the dessert and shake, omg! Tasted sooo great!!
But, before I go into those delectable dishes, let’s delve deeper on what Organique Acai is and how it can help you live a healthy lifestyle.
It was really enlightening to hear the “real story” from the horse’s mouth. And that would be from Ms. Cathy Sambalingon – Organique Inc. Vice-President for Marketing. She explained how their Acai Berries are harvested up to the stringent process it goes through in manufacturing to ensure a quality product.
Just imagine the efforts exerted to give consumers the legit healthy drink and the continuous research which now gives us another way to enjoy Organique Acai through Organique Recipes!
Up next was Dr. Sonny Viloria‘s lecture on nutrition and the health benefits of Organique Acai including detoxification, increased energy, stress relief, anti-aging, a better heart health, lower blood pressure, weight control, improved digestion, and improved function of immune cells among others.
To make it easier to understand and sink in so you will try Organique Acai too, below are a few images of its many benefits. I want you to see the things it can do to improve your health big time. It’s not too late so, bear with me and read on.
I’ve been drinking Organique Acai every morning since then. I’ve been taking notes and so far loving the effects. Review of this awesome health drink soon on my other blog!
Now that we know how it can boost our immune system and fight against aging and other known diseases, let’s start you with the appetizer! Recipes are below if you wanna be #BerrySmart and healthy from hereon.

Daily Dose of Organique Acai
Recipes aside, if you intend to take Organique Acai as it is, the recommended dose is 30 to 60 ml per day which can vary depending on the health condition of a person. 30 ml is about equivalent to a regular shot glass. Be careful not to confuse Organique Acai Premium Blend with other acai-berry based products in the market as the former is only one with the highest concentration of acai in the Philippines and does not use preservatives.
In the Philippines, each 946-ml bottle sells with a suggested retail price of Php 2,500 at Robinsons Supermarket, Watsons, Mercury Drug, South Star Drug, and Pure Pharmacy. You can also buy online via Lazada Philippines with free delivery. Organique Acai is also distributed in Hong Kong, Japan and the Middle East.
