Rio Acai in Baxter -
There’s something about nutritional foods also being a tasty treat, that instantly calls my name. I’m a little bit of a health junkie, so I’m always ready to check out the newest food and drink spots catering to that. When I heard about Rio Açaí opening up in Baxter, MN early this June, I immediately had to go! And before you ask - yes, I have been there plenty since. It’s that good!
Açaí is one of my favorite cold treats to enjoy, especially during the summer months. It’s not only satisfying to the taste buds, it’s high in antioxidants, as well! Rio Açaí has different variations of açaí on their menu. My personal favorite being the Brazilia Açaí Cup. The açaí base is layered with peanut butter, almond, banana and fudge - it’s simply to-die-for. If you prefer a flavor that’s more fruity, they have Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, both of which envelop your mouth with juicy fresh-fruit tastes. If you’re on the other end of the spectrum and looking for a real sweet sensation, they also make Sweet Treat bowls that are more of a dessert style. Copacabana is their açaí topped with cookies, vanilla cream and Nutella.
Rio Açaí even offers shakes with the option to add 30g of high-standard protein. If you’re looking for a lighter beverage, they do have their Sunrise and Sunset detox drinks, too. The deliciousness doesn’t end quite yet. On the horizon, they’ll be expanding the menu options to include hot foods! I can’t even begin to imagine how mouthwatering those will be. With zero hesitation I say this, make your way over to Rio Açaí as soon as possible. It’s truly a must-try spot in the Brainerd Lakes Area! You will not find yourself disappointed after you’ve enjoyed your choice of açaí.
