The MonaVie drink, which sports 19 different fruits including its highly publicized active ingredient, the acai berry, was recently featured on Rachel Ray, which hailed it as, “the healthiest drink you can get. It’s made with acai berries and it has more antioxidants than any other food known to man.”

But can this exotic berry from the Amazon live up to the hype?
