ST. LOUIS —
Hello Juice (multiple locations), the health-focused, cold-pressed juice and smoothie shop, Swade Cannabis and Beleaf Co. announce today an exclusive line of cannabidiol-infused wellness juice shots. “Hello Swade,” the line of 2.5-ounce CBD-infused juice shots, are infused with 25 milligrams of Beleaf Life’s Oils CBD. According to Beleaf Medical, the parent company of Swade Cannabis and Beleaf Co., the first medical marijuana company to begin operations in Missouri and a pioneer in the Missouri CBD space, “Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a powerfully promising phytocannabinoid found in the hemp plant, and it can be beneficial to health and wellness because it interacts with our endocannabinoid system, which is one of the most important physiologic systems involved in establishing and maintaining our overall health. One of the hundreds of components in marijuana, CBD does not cause a “high” by itself.” The wellness shots come in three flavors with three different functional benefits (full product descriptions below), including the “Rescue Me” for calming, the “Yo-Yo” for increased energy, and “Anti-Inflammatory.” The Hello Swade CBD wellness shots ($5.95 each) will be available for purchase at all Hello Juice locations and select Swade Cannabis Dispensaries beginning Thursday, April 20. Guests may also add Beleaf Co. CBD oil to any Hello Juice smoothie or bowl for a $2.50 upcharge. Hello Juice will officially launch its new line of CBD Wellness shots with a 4/20 pop-up event on Thursday, April 20, at the Swade Grove Dispensary location (4108 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110) from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. while supplies last.
The wellness shots are infused with oils from Beleaf’s flagship line, “Beleaf Life’s Oils,” a full-spectrum hemp oil focused on purity and potency. The Hello Swade Wellness shots make it easy to enjoy the benefits of Beleaf hemp oil extract, which are naturally rich in cannabidiol. Following the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in Missouri, Hello Juice Co-Owner Jon Maness knew he wanted to implement CBD into the menu and says, “it seemed like the perfect time to start exploring this as a company, especially as the public gains awareness of the potential benefits of the hemp plant. I have been a huge proponent of CBD for years.” True to the menu at Hello Juice, the wellness shots combine a base of cold-pressed juice with functional health ingredients. Maness does all the juicing in-house to ensure the freshest quality product.
The Hello Swade wellness shots offer a convenient way for customers to enjoy a controlled dose of CBD to support them in different ways throughout the day or night. Each 2.5 ounce wellness shot is infused with 25 milligrams of CBD and offers a unique functional benefit, depending on customer preference. The Hello Swade wellness shot flavors and functions include:
The “Yo-Yo” for Energy includes beets, pineapple, ginger, lemon, guarana, and 25 milligrams of CBD. The “YoYo” is perfect for those looking for an energy boost throughout the day. , the natural caffeine from guarana can aid in pre-workout rituals or offer a pleasant pick-me-up.
The “Rescue Me” For Calming includes 25 mg CBD, pineapple, and calming and restorative ingredients like lavender, lemon, and black pepper. Maness playfully nicknames this shot “ the ultimate 4/20 first aid kit.”
The “Anti-Inflammatory” includes 25 milligrams of CBD, carrots, pineapple, and ingredients like ginger and turmeric, which have long been used to treat inflammatory conditions.
“Our customers report back that it helps them stay calm in stressful situations. They sleep better and get relief from general aches and pains. Our pets also have an endocannabinoid system, so it works the same for them, “says Beleaf Medical CEO and Founder Mitch Meyers. “Hello Juice shares our vision of promoting a healthy lifestyle with plant-based goodies, and we look forward to continuing to build on this partnership. The 2.5-ounce shots have the potential to be quickly consumed on the go to receive the exact kind of support that one needs throughout the day. ”
