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Unfortunately they do not publish the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!
