I woke up this morning feeling stuffy and sneezy and sore-throaty, and I've been gradually getting worse throughout the day. So I'm officially calling it -- I'm sick. I've been drinking OJ and tea pretty steadily, but then I spied a bottle of Bossa Nova blueberry acai juice that's been sitting on my desk unopened. Acai is all the rage these days as the antioxidant fruit of choice (c'mon guys, pomegranate is so last year), so I figured it would give me an extra dose of germ-fighting...something (I know that's not really what antioxidants do, but my head's stuffed up and I'm not thinking too clearly at the moment, so please just go with it). The juice was very refreshing, with a surprisingly intense blueberry flavor that I loved. It was a little on the sweet side, but just cut it with seltzer or water if it's too much for you. The Bossa Nova juice apparently has more antioxidants and less sugars than many other comparable drinks, so if you're looking to get your acai fix, this might be the juice for you.

By the way, I'm just kidding about the pomegranates -- keep eating them and drinking the juice, if you're into that. Or you can move on to the next trendy antioxidant, goji berries.
