Raspberry – bright, slightly tart, and naturally refreshing
Layered together, they create a visually stunning smoothie with a balanced flavor profile and a nutrient-dense ingredient list.

A Note from Turnip Vegan
“I had fun making this drink with blue vanilla coconut, açaí berry, and raspberry flavors using natural ingredients, with maple and banana as my sweetener. If you know me, I’ve been a fan of açaí for almost 10 years now. I love using SAMBAZON Unsweetened Frozen Açaí Superfruit Packs because I can control how much sugar I want to add—if I even add any.”
