There were four packs.I made two mini acai bowls from one pack.The acai itself has no flavor, so I added honey to sweeten it,and it was thicker than I expected.I would have liked it to be a bit more like a sorbet.It's packed with polyphenols, dietary fiber, iron, and calcium, so it's very nutritious.
