Oakberry began in 2016 in Brazil and now its acai bowls are served at over 600 operating stores in over 35 countries. Oakberry uses USDA organic-certified acai and are vegan, high in antioxidants, gluten-free, and trans-fat-free. Located at the Kapolei Commons, their signature blend contains no added juices, sweeteners, ice, or fruit like bananas or apples.
There is a variety of signature preset selections on the menu, but you can also build your own bowl or smoothie and add an unlimited number of toppings! There's a ton of delicious choices ranging from fruits, nuts, seeds, proteins, and more. We opted for the signature Original acai bowl with granola, peanut butter, banana and the Create your own classic 12 oz acai bowl with chia seeds and peanut butter.
The shop itself is bright and the service was great. There is some counter seating inside the shop and a couple of tables outside. They are open Monday through Friday from 10am and 9am on Saturday and Sundays.
I saw the Aloe Kine Smoothies truck parked nearby, so of course I had to give it a try.
I've been seeing a lot about aloe and its health benefits on social media lately, and each smoothie at Aloe Kine Smoothie includes aloe (of course!).

I was looking online for healthy eats in Hilo per a friend's request, and came upon Millie's Deli & Snack Shop.

| Honeydew Smoothie |
The Honeydew Smoothie was reminiscent of Melona bars, and also very sweet.
We were hoping for more "fruit" versus "cream" smoothies, but they were still refreshing and satisfied my sweet tooth.
If I order from Millie's again, I'll definitely a sandwich!
A colleague told me about What's Shakin' on the Big Island. It's a very popular spot that specializes in smoothies using frozen fruit and fruit juice (and certain other add-ons), with no ice or added sugar.

| Farmers Favorite |
I had the Farmers Favorite, which consisted of Papaya, Banana, Organic Blueberries, Apple Juice & Coconut Milk. It was refreshing, with a prevalent blueberry flavor (and color!).
My friend's Mango Tango consisted of Papaya, Banana, Mango, Pineapple & Apple Juice. He enjoyed it.
At nearly $10 a smoothie, it is pricey, but they do try to use organic fruits whenever possible, as well as fruits from their very own farm.
If you love smoothies, give What's Shakin' a try!
We decided to pick up some smoothies and treats at Brew & Foam Coffee in Waialua.

| Sticky Jaws Smoothie |
The Sticky Jaws Smoothie consisted of blueberry, banana, strawberry, peanut butter, and almond milk.
It's been a while since I've been through Haleiwa, and during one of our visits, I noticed a new building which housed Banzai Bowls.
Created by an Oahu-raised surfer in California, and named after the famed surft spot, Banzai Bowls offers acai bowls, smoothies, and more.
I recently attended a media event at Snowberry, which opened up in the Mililani Shopping Center in September.
Snowberry specializes in Bingsu, Smoothies, and Bubble Tea Drinks, and at the event, we got to try a variety of their offerirngs.

The Smoky Taro burger was tasty, but the texture was a bit too mushy for my liking.

Burgers are served with a side. The sides are atypical from most burger places - e.g. avocado + furikake, baba ganoush, tabouleh.

My kids love when I make them smoothies for "after distance learning snack." I searched online for superfood ingredients to add to the smoothies, and I found Terrasoul Superfoods' Pitaya, Acai, and Spirulina powders.
I was already a fan of their coconut flakes, and turns out they have an entire line of superfoods!
I tried each of the powders in smoothies and smoothie bowls, and the kids loved them all.
The base was 2 frozen bananas, 1 cup ice, 1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt - all blended until smooth, and then I mixed in whatever fruits I had on hand - raspberries, blackberries, oranges.

The kids look forward to the smoothies daily (even on weekends!).
I look forward to trying out more Terrasoul products!

We tried the Fire Flow Smoothie with Bursting Boba Boost, and we all loved it! The combination of piña colada (coconut and pineapple), mango, and orange flavors makes this smoothie taste like a tropical paradise. It was very refreshing and I would highly recommend this one!
The Bursting Boba boost is a permanent addition to the Jamba Hawaii menu, however the Lava Flow Smoothie, Fire Flow Smoothie and Lava Flow Bowl are only available through March 28, 2021, therefore don't wait too long to try them out!
