Smoothies have become the active person's way of getting quick and delicious nutrition. Blend some yogurt with fruit, and you're ready to go!

But even that can get boring after a while. That's why Sambazon Frozen Smoothie Packs were a perfect pick for our June feature: they're quick, cool and convenient for the busy, action-packed summer season, and they're made with the irresistible fruits of the Amazon Rainforest, in keeping with our South American-themed festival this month.

These organic smoothie packs come in three flavors:
  • Original Acai -- acai blended with guarana syrup to bring out the natural flavors. You can create a smoothie by combining a pack with bananas or soy milk, or just cut off a corner of the pack and enjoy like a popsicle.

  • Pure Acai -- made with only açaí berries with no sweeteners. Because of this, it is recommended that you blend this variety with honey, sugar, or another sweetener of choice.
    *Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is grown in the Amazon rainforest, has a rich, berry-cocoa flavor, and is packed with more antioxidants than blueberries or pomegranates, plus loads of healthy Omega fats, protein and dietary fiber. For these reasons, acai is considered a 'superfood' –a nutrient-rich food that has been linked to improving overall health and fighting cancer, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Other superfoods include: whole-grain bread, blueberries, brown rice, salmon, soy and spinach.

  • Amazon Cherry -- also known as "acerola," the Amazon cherry is small, deep red, and packed with more vitamin C than almost any other fruit. The refreshing citrus flavor and antioxidant content doesn't hurt either. Blend this one with your favorite juice or soy milk for a smoothie that packs a healthy punch!

All varieties are $5.99/each.

Experts have been saying for years that the secret to living long and staying healthy can be found in the verdant expanse of the Amazon rainforest. Now, Sambazon has captured the incredible powers of its fruit for making a simple, yet satisfying snack. Enjoy all three flavors and energize your system!
