Sambazon Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowls are entering the freezer aisles of Publix supermarkets in the United States this month, in the wake of previously being listed at Los Angeles Costco wholesale stores as well as Wegmans and Stater Bros. Markets.
Also continuing to roll out at Publix and Walmart are Sambazon Mango Passion Fruit Açaí Bowls, which are already on the shelves at Wegmans and Stater Brothers stores. Additionally, both gluten- and grain-free products are for sale at smaller natural retailers in the Pacific Northwest, priced at $3.99 per bowl.
“We’re thrilled to continue bringing innovation to the freezer section with the expansion of our ready-to-eat, pre-blended Bowl line,” said Ryan Black, co-founder of San Clemente, California-headquartered Sambazon. “With consumers looking for convenient, healthy, and accessible meal alternatives, we are excited to share the delicious powers of Açaí and exotic taste of dragon fruit, while providing consumers with what they are looking for.”
Here are details about the new offerings:
• Mango Passion Fruit Açaí Bowl. Combining the exotic flavors of mango, Açaí and a passion fruit blend with a coconut flake topping, this creamy treat supports immunity and is a good source of vitamin C. Crafted with Fair Trade certified Açaí and checking in at only 190 calories, the bowl serves up well for breakfast, as a mid-day snack, or as an on-the-go option.
• Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl. Featuring a prebiotic red dragon fruit blend and toasted coconut flake topping, this combination supports gut health and is the first non-Açaí bowl to be added to the Sambazon’s range. Its calorie count is 250.
In line with the company’s goal to achieve 100% plant-based and post-consumer recycled retail packaging by 2025, each bowl container is made from FSC Certified plant-fiber, is PFAS free and recyclable.
Founded in 2000, Sambazon is an acronym for Sustainable Management of the Brazilian Amazon. It is the first company to introduce “certified Açaí” to the world, supplying organic and Fair Trade certified Açaí products from a proprietary supply chain to ensure transparency from the “palm of the tree to the palm of your hand.”
