Sambazon has launched frozen Fruit & Granola Topped Açaí and Smoothie Bowls in the United States. The all-in-one, thaw-and-eat products require no preparation.
Building on the success of its original frozen bowls, which include toppings like granola and coconut flakes, and encourage customization with fresh fruit, Sambazon’s latest offerings provide consumers an effortless alternative with a no sugar added fruit blend topped with a variety of frozen fruit in addition to gluten-free granolas.
“We’re always striving to offer an açaí option that suits every customer’s preference and need,” said Vicki Isip, chief marketing officer of the San Clemente, California-headquartered company. “While our existing bowls cater to those who love to customize, our new fruit topped bowls deliver ultimate convenience. It’s the perfect option for new customers looking to try an açaí bowl without the prep work.”
The new products come in three flavors:
• Açaí Berry Blend with strawberry, blueberry, coconut and granola toppings
• Açaí Raspberry Blend with diced strawberry, chocolate and granola toppings
• Mango Dragon Fruit Blend with diced mango, pineapple and granola toppings
Now available at Target stores, the bowl rollout will follow at Sprouts and Publix supermarkets this summer with distribution at retail outlets expected later in the year.
