Event: WX13 (Winter XGames 13)

Back by popular request from the athletes, Sambazon set up shop in the exclusive VIP lounge at Winter X last month. Striving to impress, Sambazon offered athletes in the lounge custom blended açaí bowls and smoothies with a choice of over 30 organic toppings and superfood ingredients - and that didn't go unnoticed. Gold medalist athletes to Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister showed up to refuel at the Sambazon table, and show some açaí love.

Check out our slideshow of the weekend here.







Team: Rochelle Ballard

Rochelle is one of the most influential female surfers of our time. Surfing the North Shore since she was 10, Rochelle has earned herself a runner up to the ASP World Title and has become renown as one of the best female tube and big wave riders out there. Since leaving the ASP, she has founded a surf camp for girls on Oahu and the IWS (International Women Surfers), and continues to make positive and progressive changes in the world of female surfing.

Today, Rochelle lives right on Sunset. This winter, Sambazon's Director of Athletes Scott Nemeth was lucky enough to visit Oahu and spend some time with Rochelle exploring her awesome house and local surf break and learning how to make Rochelle's Sunset Smoothie. Check it all out on the Sambazon Blog.

Create Positive Change: Grow what you eat!

Every time you go to the grocery store, you see those fake looking tomatoes that just aren't quite ripe or flavorful - well, you shouldn't be surprised that mass conventionally grown veggies are not very nutritious either. Try growing your own this spring, using organic compost, heirloom seeds, and a lot of love and you'll find out how much hearty nutrition and flavor those tomatoes can have. Yes a garden requires attention, but it's much easier than you might think with low maintenance, self-watering containers from Earth Box. Plus it's good for you and the environment. Visit Seeds of Change and Bountiful Gardens for all the resources you need to get started.




Recipe Submission:

Rebecca Clark says her favorite recipe is "the traditional Açaí Bowl... however, it gets pretty cold in the winter and eating a such a frigid breakfast makes me want to jump back under the covers! Therefore, in order not to miss out on my daily açaí fix I have come up with a solution... instead of serving it thick, smooth it out with some of the fantastic winter fruits. So... here is my daily morning breakfast... until it warms back up again!!"

8 oz Chocolate Soy Milk
2 tbls Wheat Germ
1 Original Açaí Smoothie Pack
1 banana
1/2 Pear
1/2 Apple
