Corner Regulars In The Know…
Hey y
‘all, we’d like to introduce you to Laura, a regular here at the Corner. I caught up with her at the drink fridge and asked her about what she was after and why. She picked up a Sambazon energy drink.
These little cans pack a powerful punch. And we’re not talking Red Bull here, Sambazon is loaded with the energy-packed superfoods from the Amazon, acai and yerba mate. It also has guarana and caffeine for the jump-start you’re looking for along with great antioxidants to give you a nice immune boost. Laura describes the taste as similar to a berry-flavored seltzer without the chemical aftertaste of most conventional energy drinks. When I asked her if it would ever replace her coffee, she laughed and said no but that she does often include it as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Pretty soon the only exotic thing about it will be the rich, slightly fruity taste it imparts to your favorite dishes. Continue Reading
