Q & A: /// Where Can I Find Your Smoothie Packs?
 
Q and A highlights standout inquiries from customers that we receive each month.

Q: I'm a huge fan of your Original Rio Blend Açaí Smoothie Packs and live in Hoboken, NJ. Where can I buy the Frozen Smoothie Packs (4 packs) in stores around here? I checked your retail locator but I assume it could be for any Sambazon product and I only want the packs for smoothie making. Can you provide a list of retailers in and around the 07030 zip code that sell the 4 packs?
Thanks, Kevin

A: Kevin- Thanks for contacting us! Our Frozen Smoothie Packs are available at most natural food stores and select grocery stores nationwide! If you still can’t find them locally, they are always available 24/7 on our online store! However, in terms of retail stores, Whole Foods is your safest bet since they carry our full product line, *This being said, any natural foods store in the nation can order any of our products for you through a natural foods distributor called ‘UNFI’ upon your request!

Also, our updated store locator now allows you to search by specific product; just go to www.sambazon.com/locator and type in your zip code, choose Smoothie Packs as the product and hit Go! On the following page you'll be provided with a list of stores in your area that sell Sambazon Açaí smoothie packs!

If you have questions or comments, please email them to Sambazon Co-Founder Ed Nichols at info@sambazon.com, and he will be in touch!





EVENT /// TED Conference
 


"Ted is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading." Maybe not so small anymore, TED has evolved into annual conferences in Long Beach, Oxford and now additional events that bring together some of the worlds most forefront thinkers like big names Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Jamie Oliver to less known but equally as impressive scientists, artists, and tech geniuses. These individuals are invited to TED to give the most impressive talk of their life in 18 minutes.

Last month, TED visited the Long Beach Convention Center here in Southern California for the second year in a row and Sambazon was invited to feed all inquisitive minds. For the details recounted by Sambazon Co-Founder Jeremy Black, visit our blog.

CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE /// Africa Aid

 
Africa suffers more than 24% of the global burden of disease but has access to only 3% of it’s health workers, with an average of only two doctors per 10,000 people.

That's exactly what MDNet is trying to confront by establishing free mobile phone networks amongst physicians within African countries, making it easier for doctors to do their jobs. The communications initiative—the first of its kind in Africa—advances the transfer of medical knowledge and emergency response, improving healthcare and ultimately saving lives.
