heywell is expanding its beverage range with the addition of a new limited-time flavor: calm + restore sparkling green apple pineapple.
calm + restore sparkling green apple pineapple is an online-only exclusive flavor that expands the brand's current lineup of functional beverages, which are specifically crafted to support the natural rhythms of your day. Just as the name suggests, the new flavor is designed for those moments when you need a bit of calm in your day, like unwinding after work or relaxing on the weekend. To help promote this feeling, the drink is made with L-theanine, lemon balm, amla berry, and schisandra, which help to promote balance and calmness. At the same time, the addition of green apple and tropical pineapple flavors adds a refreshing, thirst-quenching element. As Ashley Selman, co-founder and CEO of heywell, explains, "With calm + restore, we wanted to create something bright, refreshing, and supportive of those moments when you want to slow down, reset, and feel more balanced.”
