Team Sambazon: Nyjah Huston
10 year old Nyjah is the #1 amateur skateboarder on the planet and already beats the world's top professional athletes on a regular basis! He's a great role model for other kids because he's very conscious about what he eats and how his actions effect the health of our planet. "An Açai smoothie provides me with more energy, with increased awareness and stamina, that a healthy meal would provide, and without weighing me down. Acai is an instant high energy meal, easily to eat and tasty, in a bottle, or like a popsicle straight from the smoothie pack." - Nyjah
