Rob Machado

World Class Surfer, Sambazon Ambaassador

Rob is one of the top surfers in the world. We met him at the US Open of Surfing back in 2001. We had been making açaí for the surfers at the event and after every heat he kept coming back for another bowl to keep his energy levels up.
He won the event and his freezer has been stocked with açaí since then.
“WHEN I’M COMPETING I NEED SOMETHING THAT WILL GIVE ME ENERGY BUT WON’T WEIGH ME DOWN. IT’S THE PERFECT FOOD – AND IT’S THE REAL DEAL.”
Favorite Recipe:
2 blocks of Sambazon Açaí original blend, frozen banana, rice milk… just enough to keep it thick (just like in Brazil) pour into my favorite ceramic bowl, slice some more banana on top of that and then pour some hemp granola all over that…
good stuff.
