Sambazon Organic Acai Berry Sorbet

I'm new to the whole acai berry thing. Honestly, I've never gone out of my way to try anything with acai. It always seemed so gimicky and snake oilish. That changed a couple months ago when my friend Chris suggested I try a Sambazon Protein Smoothie. I ended up really liking it and I was surprised it contained acai berries. So the other day, I noticed this Samazon Acai Berry Sorbet and was pretty excited about trying it out.

So what does acai taste like? I would have to say a mix between blueberry and cranberry. If you like either of those, I would think you'd be down with acai. The sorbet was tangy and fruity. It was sweet without being over the top cloying. There's a little grit from the acai berries, but I've become accustomed to that by now. I'd say the Acai Berry Sorbet is a solid choice for someone who like sorbets and wants a healthier, less sugary alternative with loads of antioxidants. If you've never had any acai berry products before, this might be a good gateway to take you all the way to level 7 acai berry lover (that's when you're able to pronounce it.)

Funky Monkey Snacks

Suffice it to say, whenever I go to the store I'm on the lookout for Vegan stuff. Coupled with the fact that I'm a 6 year old in a 32 years old's body, I can appreciate something called Funky Monkey. I saw these on the shelf with the hope that they were Vegan. Not only did they say Vegan on the packaging, they contain all natural ingredients. Funky Monkey Snacks are freeze-dried fruit (varies from bananas, apple, pineapple, mango, papaya and guava) mixed with real fruit juices. Funky Monkey indeed!

The three flavors I was able to get a hold of were Bananamon, Purple Funk and Jivelime. Bananamon is freeze-dried organic banana with organic cinnamon. I would have to say this was my favorite. The cinnamon didn't pop out for me but I love banana chips and these were wonderful. Purple Funk is freeze-dried organic banana with organic acai. I enjoyed this one. The best part is now I kind of know what acai tastes like. Jivelime is freeze-dried pineapple with organic lime juice. This was my least favorite due to the pineapple being sticky and it getting stuck to my teeth. Although the taste was enjoyable and I liked the pineapple crunch. So bottom line, this makes a great portable snack for kids and adults. Can't wait to try the other flavors!
