Product Specials: Organic Açaí Smoothies
Last week the Today Show included us in a segment on "8 Foods You Should Eat Every Day". We agree - the apple a day theory has
evolved! Our ready to drink organic açaí smoothies are packed with whole food nutrition and are probably one of the
healthiest
beverages you could buy. We pack our beverages with açaí and then blend them with other powerful ingredients such as antioxidant rich
fruit, Manitoba Harvest hemp protein and Amazing Grass
Supergreens. You can buy them by the caseload -
just keep them in your freezer and thaw on demand. They're a really convenient (and delicious) way to get the healthy benefits of
açaí in your diet daily. Kids love them for after school snacks and they're great before or after working out or just for an
afternoon energy boost. Buy a case for yourself and share one with a friend! For this month's Zona Sul
subscriber special - good now thru October 31, 2007 - go to our shopping cart and use coupon below upon checking out.

Sambazon Tribal Tour Update
Sambazon's Tribal Tour has continued to rock its way from one music fest to another through-out the US - serving up healthy and delicious acai
to festival revelers at FarmAid at Randall's Island in NYC , mega-fest Austin City Limits in Austin, TX and Earthdance in Laytonville, CA. In addition to lineup of legends
that included
Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave
Matthews, Farm Aid was a great opportunity for Sambazon to be a part of the Good Food Movement by helping raise awareness about the loss of family
farms and
raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Sambazon brought an added twist to the offering with new awareness of family farmers in the
Amazon. And ACL and Earthdance was outstanding as ever with festival-goers and musicians who couldn't get enough of Sambazon. Next
up we're at Greenfest in Washington D.C. October
6-8 and The Echo Project - a first ever event in Atlanta, GA
with a great line up
including The
Killers and many others. October 12-14. NorCal Sambazon fans - we'll also be at Hardly
Strictly Bluegrass festival -a free fest in Golden Gate Park that draws a great crowd.
Check out dates and info here and for photos on the road here.

Açaí Bowl of the Month
Diamond Head Cove is a health and kava bar situated minutes from
Waikiki,
Hawaii. Their specialty is "The Cove Bowl" - a bowl of organic granola topped with Sambazon açaí, bananas,
strawberries,
blue berries and honey and the "The Mana Bowl" with double Sambazon açaí, fruits and bee pollen. "So Ono!" (Hawaiian for
delicious!)
Hawaii is a huge market for Sambazon açaí - with residents, visitors and the whole North Shore surf commnity who buy our products at stores
and in juice bars daily - so they know a thing or two about making great bowls there!
