An Insider’s Guide to Being Fabulous (the Healthy Way!)
Recently, a friend of mine in PR sent me samples of the Zola Açai Berry Smoothie line, and it’s amazing! We have all heard of açai berries and the benefits of drinking it’s juice regularly (hello Oprah!), so this will really excite anyone who is looking to get healthier in an easy, tasty way. Zola’s signature Açai Juice is already in stores, but coming this April, they will be launching a new smoothie line, and lucky me, I get to taste them before they are out and let you all know what’s the deal with them and, more importantly, how they taste! Below are all four different blends:
Energy Smoothie
This smoothie is light and refreshing. Tastes like fruit punch with a kick! It’s naturally caffeinated with a boost of yerba mate and guaraná seed, so you do actually get pumped, which is so great, because it’s actually healthy for you in regular intervals (as opposed to my daily latté – bonus!).
Antioxidant Smoothie
What a berry blast! Tastes like you are drinking pure blackberrys (or some sort of dark berry) but it’s actually full of purple açai berries that deliver more free-radical fighting antioxidants than any other fruit in the world. This, as I recently found out, helps with cell damage, so everything in your body gets, well… better! Pretty impressive, and so is this delicious smoothie.

Immunity Smoothie
This was a particularly useful and tasty blend, as I had a cold while trying all of these juices. It’s a super tart mix that almost tastes like a delicious pastry… is that weird? Haha! It’s a scrumptious mix of acerola cherries, camu and açai berries. It contains antioxidants, bioflavonoids, and of course Vitamin C. You will definitely be feeling healthier (or in my case, less sick) after drinking this blend.
Superfood Smoothie
This is the earthiest tasting of all four smoothies, and definitely takes the most getting used to if you aren’t a true “foodie” as we say in the Bay. However, it does really grow on you, especially when you hear the benefits. It is (of course) full of free-radical fighting açai, but also contains Vitamin B packed graviola and anti-aging (yes!) cupuaçu. This will help you feel super alert and energized when you are on the go, plus help you stay young looking for years to come… awesome.
Alright peeps… check these out in April. They will be at Whole Foods in the Bay Area to start, and then moving into other health food stores and high end grocery stores (think Andronico’s) later. Check out their YouTube link to get Zola’s full story: 2009 ZOLA ACAI
Happy (and healthy!) drinking!
Peace and love! XO
