Monthly Special: Pure Açai.
- As many customers know, our Brasilian partner stamped the wrong "expiration" dates on our Pure Acai last year. The product is stamped with a date of December 2004 but is in perfect condition. USDA standards say if the fruit is kept frozen it will stay good for 4 + years. We have done nutritional analysis on this product and found it's in perfect condition. We currently have it on the website at special reduced pricing of $99.95 and $44.95 to clear out the inventory.

For the May Zona Sul to our subscribers we are offering a coupon for an additional $5 off the 28 box and $10 off the 76 box. Just enter the coupon szpure28 or szpure76 when you're checking out and you'll get the credit.

Introducing Organic Amazon Superfood

- Introducing Organic Amazon Superfood, a powerful combination of organic purples and greens. It's no secret the #1 selling bottled smoothies are the green drinks, but the big guy's drinks only use a dash of low-grade greens powder. We wanted to take it to a whole new level so we partnered up with our friends at Amazing Grass (www.amazinggrass.com) and created the most powerful bottled Superfood drink on the market. Our Supergreens formula has 25 times the nutrition of tray-grown wheat grass along with all the antioxidants and healthy fats and other benefits you get from Acai. If you're looking for a drink that has it all, this is it. Now Available on sambazon.com and soon coming to health food stores near you.

Customer Comments

"Sounds like a great company and great products. I started looking at your web site as an investor but I am a strong supporter of what I am seeing with the support of people and culture" - Randy, Ohio

"Our PTO is searching for companies that produce healthy, organic, nutritional, and different types of drinks for kids and adults. We are tired of the only options available at school being high sugar, high calorie sodas or sports drinks. We would like to offer healthy, organic, nutritionally superior alternatives. We want to show the kids (and most adults) that nutritionally powerful drinks are not only beneficial but can be very good tasting." Julie- NY

"I saw you at the Coachella Music Festival and I loved your Acai bowl!" - Hallie, Los Angeles
