From the Amazon Rainforest to a Smoothie Near You, Planet Smoothie Expands
Superfoods Menu Selection
In Partnership with Sambazon, Planet Smoothie is First to Market with New
Amazon Energy Smoothie.

ATLANTA, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Planet Smoothie, home of the original "pure"
Acai smoothie, announces today its partnership with Sambazon, the Acai global
leader, to launch three new smoothie flavors in a limited-time offer: Amazon
Energy, Amazon Cherry, and Jungle Fruit Fuzion. Superfood smoothies -- made
from the powerful Acai berry and the newly discovered Amazon Cherry -- pack a
punch of nutrients and powerful benefits for every lifestyle.

Planet Smoothie is answering consumer demand for the healthiest and best
tasting smoothies on the planet with the addition of the following menu items
at all participating locations:

-- Amazon Energy is made with Sambazon's Amazon Cherry and organic
Acai Berry "Amazon Energy" Drink, which is 100 percent
natural. Loaded with Vitamin C and rich in antioxidants, this smoothie
is enhanced with the rainforest botanicals guarana and yerba mate for
energy. Planet Smoothie is the first smoothie concept to launch the
Amazon Energy smoothie.
-- Amazon Cherry is the newest superfood discovery. Known for its
distinctively creamy and refreshing taste, Amazon Cherry has 10 times
the amount of Vitamin C in orange juice with less sugar. Its
antioxidant
power boosts immunity and combats stress.

-- Jungle Fruit Fuzion contains two Amazon superfruits, Acai and Amazon
Cherry. The smoothie contains two times the antioxidants of
blueberries
and 10 times the amount of Vitamin C found in orange juice.

All three creations are available for a limited time, from July 1 through
October, at all participating Planet Smoothie locations. Each distinctive new
smoothie includes the same fresh ingredients that have made Planet Smoothie a
lifestyle destination for more than 13 years.

"We place a strong emphasis on educating our customers about the nutritional
benefits of the products we offer," says Chris Morocco, CEO of Petrus Brands
which owns Planet Smoothie. "This rollout is consistent with our aggressive
strategy to set a new industry standard where consumers can find literally
some of the healthiest products on the planet. Sambazon has been an
outstanding partner for Planet Smoothie and we are thankful for their
continued support of Planet Smoothie."

Planet Smoothie is also expanding this promotion outside its locations with
the use of Facebook and Twitter. Throughout the limited-time offer, Planet
Smoothie will be offering followers and fans the opportunity to win free
smoothies and to play interactive games testing the knowledge of Acai.
