是的,它们很美味,但是Açai碗健康吗?营养师体重
与许多健康食品时尚不同,阿萨伊狂热刚开始趋势后,狂热仍在发生强劲的几年。我们还花了这么长时间才能弄清楚地球是什么,嗯,嗯,如何发音(fyi:是ah-sigh-ee)。但是Açai碗健康吗?我们与营养师交谈艾米·里希特(Amy Richter)为了完整地了解神秘成分,以及一碗东西是否属于我们的日常旋转。
什么是Açai?
您以前听说过Açai碗,甚至可能看到了冰沙等特色的成分……但是Accai到底是什么?好吧,营养师告诉我们,阿萨伊指的是小的深紫色浆果由中央和南美雨林的一种原生的棕榈树(同名)生产。Açai浆果实际上看起来很像蓝莓,但是当涉及到他们的味道时,里奇特说他们很酸,有些味道称为“黑巧克力和黑莓之间的十字架”。是的,这款异国情调的浆果非常好吃 - 这也不是一切。(但以下更多内容。)
Açai碗健康吗?
Açai碗目前对健康与保健世界很受欢迎,这意味着您可能想知道这些浆果是否真的辜负了炒作。好吧,朋友,您可能想考虑将这种水果纳入您的饮食中,因为碰巧Açai确实是真正的交易。Per Richter,“Açai浆果中的花青素很高,这是一种在红色和紫色水果和蔬菜中发现的一种抗氧化剂,可以帮助减少体内的炎症并预防慢性疾病。”实际上,有足够的研究这支持了花色苷的深远健康益处。更重要的是,里奇特告诉我们,阿萨伊浆果“还提供了很多维生素A。和维生素C这两者对于维持强大的免疫系统很重要。”
如何制作健康的Açai碗
Now that you know you’re not just gulping down a mouthful of malarkey when you dig into an açai bowl, let’s talk about how to prepare one at home—you know, so you can reap all the aforementioned rewards of this antioxidant-rich fruit. For starters, it’s worth mentioning that fresh açai berries are pretty much impossible to find—namely because they turn rancid so quickly after being picked. Instead, look for açai as a frozen puree or freeze-dried powder. (The dietician says you can use either one of these popular forms of the fruit to whip up a healthy meal.)
Once you’ve scored some açai at your local supermarket or health food store, Richter suggests giving your pureed or powdered superfood a spin in the blender, along with “half a banana, some frozen fruit (strawberries or blueberries work well), yogurt and a splash of your favorite juice or milk.” The end result is a smoothie-like concoction that can be spooned into a bowl and, per the expert, “[topped] with nuts, seeds, or granola for some added fiber and healthy fats.” If you’re going dairy-free, Richter says that plant-based yogurts can be substituted for the regular stuff—but, she adds, you might want to consider a scoop of protein powder for good measure, since these types of yogurts are typically lower in protein. Finally, keep in mind that Richter’s recipe is just a basic template—so feel free to get creative when you’re whipping up your own açai smoothie bowl.
Açai碗的替代品
也许很难找到Açai或太昂贵而无法在常规上购买 - 无论如何,您都会很高兴知道有一些具有可比健康益处的替代品。根据里奇特(Richter)的说法,阿萨伊(Açai)的最佳替代品是黑莓,其额外的好处是类似的风味和蓝莓。最终,这两种“紫色食品”都提供了大量的花青素,因此,具有与Açai相同的健康益处。
