I have been doing a lot of research lately on healthy eating and have been trying to transform my lifestyle into a healthier one. Yes, there are a lot of "fad" diets out there, but for the most part they are good at temporarily helping you lose pounds but they are rarely healthy. It seems like the best way to lose weight and be healthy is by eating lots of vegetables and fruits. I have also read quite a bit about the benefits of juicing and the benefits of drinking your veggies in fruits rather than just eating them. So, when I found out about Sambazon, I thought it would be a good opportunity to see just how good fruit and vegetable juices really are. Sambazon products come in both juice and smoothie varieties and are USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Ecocert Fair Trade, vegan, and gluten free. They can be used as a snack or a light meal replacement.
Review: I was given some product coupons and some other great Sambazon products and headed to my local Whole Foods Co-op to see what varieties they offered.
Acai with Blueberry & Pomegranate was a delicious blend of fruits. The Acai and blueberry helped to decrease the tartness of the pomegranate. It was one of the most delicious juice blends I have ever tasted.
Energy - Acai Berry + Yerba Mate + Guarana provided some natural caffeine. It had a great taste and was sweet (though not quite as sweet as the Acai one mentioned above). It was a nice drink to consume in the morning and was a nice and healthy way to get the day started.
Protein - Chocolate + Almond + Coconut Milk smoothie is a vegan whole food protein drink that includes over 100 Acai berries and is made with organic whole food protein to help build lean muscle. It also contains healthy omegas to help keep you full longer. It tasted amazing - almost so good it was hard to believe it was good for you. The chocolate, almond, and coconut all blended well together yet each flavor could also be distinctly tasted. This one is definitely a treat!
Super Greens features a mixture of Kale & Ginger that provides two full servings of fruits and vegetables and over 120 Acai berries in each bottle. To be honest, I was dreading trying this one and put it off until the last minute. I figured a green drink with ginger (an ingredient that I really dislike the taste of) would be pretty darn gross. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was! The Acai berries gave it most of the flavor and while it was not as sweet as the other varieties, it was really yummy! In fact, this was probably my favorite since I need to get more veggies in my diet and this is a painless way to do it!
Buy it here: You can use the Sambazon store locator to find a retail location near you. Although it did not appear on my search, I was pleased to see that there were also a couple of varieties at my local Walmart!
