SmartMonkey Foods Press Release.
SUPERSET TENNIS STARS TO ENJOY RAW ENERGY BARS FROM PORTLAND'S SMARTMONKEY FOODS
Andre Agassi is Among the Players to Receive Gift Baskets Filled
with Ultra-Healthy Gourmet Raw Treats
November 22, 2003
PORTLAND, Ore. - When eight of today's top male tennis stars meet this Saturday in
the highly competitive Superset Tennis event at the Rose Garden, they'll refuel between
games with living foods complements of Portland's SmartMonkey Foods. Living foods,
also known as raw foods, are among today's most popular trends, promoting increased
health, energy, focus, and stamina while reducing the physical effects of aging.
SmartMonkey Foods was asked to contribute to the gift basket each athlete will receive
because of their reputation for healthy and energizing cuisine. Brian Berger Public
Relations, Inc., and Relish, who are creating the exclusive baskets, wanted to include a
delicious snack that would provide revitalizing fuel for demanding athletic bodies, not
empty calories. Ani Phyo of SmartMonkey Foods knew just what the athletes needed.
"Our gourmet raw Extreme Energy Lemon Bar is packed full of protein, electrolytes,
vitamins, minerals, and energy to fuel a physically demanding and active lifestyle," she
explains. 'The coconut in our bar is nature's original Gatorade, and our raw energy
barit contains all the enzymes it needs to break itself down, thus providing maximum
energy with minimal bodily effort.'
SmartMonkey Foods is Portland's most popular gourmet raw food company. Their line
of seven packaged raw foods, including the lemon bars featured in the Superset basket,
are available locally at Food Front in NW Portland, and can be purchased online at
www.smartmonkeyfoods.com. SmartMonkey Foods offers gourmet raw catering services,
and local raw food enthusiasts can enjoy SmartMonkey Foods' Dinners To-Go, with
delicious seasonal menu items available each Thursday for pick-up in SE Portland.
SmartMonkey Foods recently created the first all-day, all-raw cruise menu, featured on
a Carnival Caribbean cruise this month.
Because cooking destroys food's essential enzymes, SmartMonkey Foods' living foods
are never heated above 104F. Their gourmet cuisine is always fresh, organic, and vegan
(containing no animal products). Phyo explains that when people consume food in which
the enzymes have been killed by cooking, their bodies sacrifice metabolic enzymes that
would otherwise maintain proper physical functioning to digesting the food. It's the
depletion of these metabolic enzymes, she explains, that speeds up the aging process and
causes undue stress on the immune system.
This weekend's Superset Tennis event features Andre Agassi, Jan-Michael Gambill,
Taylor Dent, James Blake, Todd Martin, Robby Ginepri, Vince Spadea, and and Max
Mirnyi. The players will compete in one set, sudden death, elimination contests for a single
$250,000 purse, the largest per set prize money in tennis. With stakes that high, it's
no wonder they need Extreme Energy Lemon Bars. Thanks to SmartMonkey Foods, they
can enjoy great taste and maintain the energy and stamina they'll need to compete.
In addition to SmartMonkey Foods's raw energy bars, each exclusive gift basket will
include Acme Made laptop computer bags by Relish for the men, Poppi rings by Relish
for the women, Lebanese Chocolates from Verdun Chocolates, and Oregon Pinot Noir
and Pinot Gris from Vigne Wine Bar.
The event will begin at noon on Saturday, November 22, 2003, at the Rose Garden.
Tickets are available at www.superset-tennis.com, and also include a one-set special
match between Anna Kournikova and Carly Gullickson.
You can treat yourself like a superstar and enjoy increased health, energy and vitality
with gourmet raw foods, available at www.smartmonkeyfoods.com.
