CVG Airport / Cassie Kiser / November 4, 2024

Traveling doesn’t have to be an excuse to break your wellness routine, especially when fresh, fast, and nutritious options are available. CVG Airport has partnered with SAMBAZON® Açaí Bowls to bring nutrient-packed ingredients to travelers. The new location in Concourse B near gate B19 is one example of how CVG is elevating passengers’ dining choices by offering more quick-service and healthy food options.

What is açaí?

Açaí (“ah-sigh-EE”) is an Amazonian berry known for its antioxidant and immune-boosting properties, which are ideal before and after travel. SAMBAZON® açaí bowls have a frozen base made from the purple açaí berries. Fresh toppings are displayed on the counter; you can choose from bananas, mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, nuts, seeds, granola, coconut, and more. The CVG location also has warm oatmeal bowls, coffee, and grab-and-go beverages, such as SAMBAZON’s Amazon Energy™ drinks.

Where does SAMBAZON® açaí come from?

SAMBAZON® is the world’s first certified fair trade and organic açaí company. The berries are hand-harvested by local Amazonian farmers to protect the ecosystem. The berries are transported by riverboat and are processed at advanced, eco-friendly facilities.

Why should CVG travelers consider trying SAMBAZON®?

Açaí bowls and smoothies are ideal for travelers of all ages because they are healthy, portable, and convenient. The vitamins and antioxidants in the berries help you feel full and energized while also boosting your immune system. The SAMBAZON® food containers make it easy for passengers to take a meal onto their flight or to grab on the way to Baggage Claim.
