OAKBERRY
Does your New Year’s resolution consist of being good to your body? What better way is it done than by living and consuming healthier food options? It’s a good thing that OAKBERRY, a global and quick-service superfood shop known for serving fresh açaí, has unveiled their new menu for 2025. It’s none other than their new menu category of OAKMEAL. They’re available to get at participating OAKBERRY locations.

The OAKMEAL is said to be the perfect way to stay fueled for the start of the year and level up your winter. Want to know why? Well, eating better is probably one of most people’s resolutions, and OAKMEAL helps them meet their goals. It’s a plant-based snack that is protein and fiber-rich, making it the best and healthier option for breakfast than having a huge feast full of unhealthy food.
More than just a basic bowl of oats, OAKMEAL is made with a blend of whole grain rolled oats, whey protein, chia seeds, and flax seeds. The OAKMEAL is packed with 26 grams of protein with each serving and is available to get in two varieties: Classic OAKmeal (hot) and OvernightOAKS (cold). Like the brand’s açaí bowls, both the Classic OAKmeal and OvernightOAKS are made to order to ensure their freshness. They’re also customizable with up to three toppings.

Now, what’s in these OAKMEALS, making them a must-try for those who want to eat better? They’re said to be a mix of crunchy, creamy, and fruity. It also has a nutty and seedy topping, such as peanut butter, bananas, cashews, and cocoa nibs. Customers may choose their own perfect OAKMEAL combination.
They’re enjoyable as a comforting breakfast to fill your stomach and warm you up in the cold winter months ahead. It can also be your boost of energy after a good workout. They’re available for a suggested price of $6.95 per 12 oz of cup. You can get them in shops for their stores in California and New York City. They’re also available online or through the OAKBERRY app for pickup or delivery.

From The Club
Probably on the top list of my resolutions for this year is a healthy mind and healthy body, so OAKBERRY’s OAKMEALS will surely help me achieve my goal. As someone who loves overnight oats, I’ll surely be in love with the brand’s OvernightOAKS! But for my cheat days, I’ll probably grab a bite of a chicken sandwich from Applebee’s Really Big Meal Deal or any from Subway’s new Baja Bliss Collection.
