For National Heart Month, quick-service superfood brand OAKBERRY teamed up with POM Wonderful to put a heart-healthy twist on its fan-favorite Very Berry Smoothie for a limited time by trading its coconut water base for 100% pomegranate juice to create the Very POM Berry Smoothie. This antioxidant-rich smoothie is the latest to join OAKBERRY's Layer Up menu, which focuses on infusing taste, color, and texture into every sip.
Alongside POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice, the Very POM Berry Smoothie features a sweet, tart ingredient blend that includes frozen blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, plus açai.
Available throughout February at OAKBERRY açaí shops across the nation, the Very POM Berry Smoothie helps to advance pediatric cardiology initiatives in the Los Angeles area.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Functional Beverage Innovation

Sectors Adopting This

- Food and Beverage
- Innovative drinks like the Very POM Berry Smoothie demonstrate how the food and beverage industry is increasingly targeting niche health markets with tailored products.
