Acai Berry Product Reviews

 

Sambazon Pure Acai Frozen Acai Pulp

Sambazon is one of the largest corporations bringing Acai to the world. They have a huge line of products, but frozen pulp for smoothies is what they are most famous for. If you want to make a frozen Acai smoothie or the famous 'Rio bowl' Acai breakfast, and you live in the USA, then I don't know of any other options for you right now than the two varieties of 'smoothie packs' that Sambazon produces.

This Acai type of smoothie pack is almost completely Acai berry, with a tiny bit of lethicin and citric acid in there for preservation. It is unsweetened so it tastes a little bit like mud on its' own, but they have some handy recipes for smoothies right on the label that anyone can make.

How available are Sambazon Smoothie Packs?

You should be able to find Sambazon Smoothie packs (in both flavors) in your local health foods store and even leading grocery stores like Vons, safeway, and Albertsons, in the frozen fruits section.

 

How much does a Sambazon Pure Smoothie pack cost?

A pack of four smoothie packs cost me about $7.

 

What is the ORAC Value of Sambazon's Pure Acai Smoothie Pack?

Unfortunately they do not publish the product ORAC value, but on their website they show a graph of Acai versus other fruits ORAC chart and they credit Acai 'fruit' of an unknown measurement as having "167 Antioxidents." -Which is a horribly low number and I'm not convinced that it relates to the ORAC scale at all.

I will say this for their product: After one Rio bowl as directed by their label, I experienced some of the most intense energy of my life, and it lasted all day long... So they are doing something right!
