Acai Energy Drink #5: "Acai-Oxidently"
submitted by MadeInThailand

Ingredients:
1/2 cup to 1 cup frozen vanilla yogurt (depending on how thick you want it)
8 oz ice
6 oz Acai
1/2 cup fresh blackberries
2 oz lemon juice
1/2 medium banana
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Results:
Judges rated this acai energy drink highly. "The acai, blackberry, and lemon juice are like the Three's Company of fruits," remarked one judge, "a naughty sitcom of tart and sweetness." "After the bacon smoothie, I can't taste anything," remarked another judge, "but I like this one because it's the purplest." Judges praised the health benefits of the flaxseed ("Hopefully it won't make you have an oxidently in your pants"), but were divided on the name ("works on at least three levels, like an Escher painting" said one judge; "I don't get it, and it probably isn't funny anyway" said another).

Final ratings:
Taste: 13/15
Healthiness: 14/15
Funniness: 10/15
TOTAL SCORE: 37/45

And so we're proud to announce the winner of our $250.00 acai energy drink contest: ZUG reader MadeInThailand for this outstanding recipe, "Acai-Oxidently". Judges felt it captured the true flavor of the acai berry, in a tasty, healthy, and (most importantly) funny way.

With any luck, we'll acai this drink popping up at Starbucks and smoothie stands across America. And we'll be done with acai puns once and for all. Enjoy!
