Review of Mona Vie Acai
Acai at outrageous prices
Recently I discovered a company that is called Monavie Acai. Although this product is sustainably harvested I feel that they are being dishonest with their customers. They are selling Acai juice which is exactly like Bossa Nova, Sambazon, or Zola for $45-50 in a wine bottle. Had I not lived in Brazil and eaten and drank real Acai in its purist form I might have been taken for this dishonest form of direct marketing that this Salt Lake City company has created. I completely support their work in rain forest conservation but I feel that fair trade/sustainable businesses should feel an ethical obligation to offer fair prices to their customers. I will continue to drink other brands that sell for a fraction of the price!!

I have tried Monavie -- I'm not certain of it's health benifits. If they work in a "Fair Trade" manner in Brazil, that's great. I just have no idea why they add shrimp to the drink. Does anyone have any idea? more »
