Bossa Nova

There's been a lot of buzz about acai juice, which is made from a small rainforest berry. Now there is a juice that actually tastes good and contains this nutritious juice called Bossa Nova.

Packed with more disease-fighting antioxidants than any other fruit on Earth, this beverage is lightly sweetened with agave, to create a delicious juice. What’s more, every bottle you buy saves another rainforest tree. You save the tree's life, the tree returns the favor. Nice.

In original and four other flavors, it has about 90 calories per 8 ounces.

Look for it in the refrigerated section of Whole Foods Market, Kroger, Wegman's, and Giant. Cost is around $2.99 a bottle.

For more information, visit Bossa USA.
