Acai berries, found in the Amazon, are believed to have healthy qualities and may also help the big box retailer in a down economy. Acai Berry Juice sold some $40 million within its first 90 days on the market and is expected to hit roughly $110 million in sales next year, Lindsay Duncan, Genesis Today founder, president & CEO, told CNBC.

Sambazon, the global leader in Acai, recently launched their most mainstream effort to date, Sambazon Antioxidant Elixir. Antioxidant Elixir(TM) is an organic revitalizing beverage that provides powerful antioxidants and 600% DV Vitamin C, yet remains refreshingly light on calories, sugar, and contains no fat. Sweetened naturally with agave and infused with a blend of acai, acerola, and the finest organic botanical extracts, this is truly a powerful concoction of ingredients. Contains only 70 calories per serving (about 100 per bottle).

The drink manages to deliver plenty of flavor, but still feel light in the mouth and have only 100 calories per 11 oz. bottle. (more…)
