The energy drink I will be reviewing today is Sambazon Amazon Energy Drink in an acai berry flavor. You can purchase this particular brand at any Whole Foods supermarket near you. This is one of the few places I’ve seen carrying this brand, but I’m sure you can purchase it at any other health food store near you.
Sambazon Acai Berry Energy Drink comes in a thin 12 oz. can. The can has a striking deep purple color with shadows of palm leaves wrapping all around the can. You’ll also notice that the logo contains a picture of what looks like an Amazon warrior chief. The overall design of the can makes you feel like you’re drinking something exotic, which I’m sure was the whole intention.
Sambazon Amazon Energy Drink has a mild berry flavor to it. It’s not overly sweet and is carbonated with sparkling filtered water, which I think is a nice touch. It’s kind of like drinking a berry flavored Peligrino or a New York Seltzer(for those of you familiar with that drink). No need to worry about any weird aftertaste with this drink, it’s very refreshing and it will be sure to tickle your taste buds. I surely hope Sambazon will offer different flavors in the future.
Based on other all natural organic energy drinks I’ve drunk in the past, I really wasn’t expecitng a huge kick from Sambazon Acai Energy Drink. This drink is great if you need a small pick me, or if you want to sustain your current energy level for longer periods of time. Another great thing about this drink is you don’t have to worry about crashing or getting any jittery effects. What Sambazon lacks in the ability to get me AMPED, they make up for it in the high potent antioxidant ingredients that other big name energy drinks don’t possess.
Ok Amazon warriors here’s the final verdict:
Price: $2.69
Taste: 8 out of 10
AMPED Factor: 7.5 out of 10
