Brazil-founded quick-service superfood brand Oakberry is bringing what it's best known for—layered açaí bowls—to a new layered smoothie menu that features nutrient-dense ingredients and aesthetically pleasing serves.
Each smoothie features a base of Oakberry's açaí and builds on this nutritious superfood base with a variety of fruits, supplements, coffees and matcha. One of the most eye-catching, high-contrast items on the layered smoothie menu is Tropical Beats, which features a top layer of blended passionfruit, mango and turmeric. Fans of coffeehouse beverages will appreciate Oakberry's Zen Matcha with antioxidant-rich green tea powder and oat milk, or Coffee Punch, prepared with premium coffee powder and frozen banana.
These new smoothies follow the launch of Oakberry's summer menu, which featured a layered passion fruit smoothie that was incredibly well-received by fans.
