HEAL Wellness, a Canadian smoothie bowl and superfood brand, has partnered with content creator Spencer Barbosa to launch The Spencer Bowl. This limited-time açaí bowl is available at all HEAL locations across Canada beginning May 22, 2026.
The Spencer Bowl features a base of raspberries, açaí, strawberries, banana, and oat milk topped with granola, fresh strawberries, raspberries, banana, Nutella, cacao nibs, and pomegranate. The collaboration originated organically when Barbosa became a regular customer and posted about HEAL on her Instagram Stories, eventually leading to direct message conversations and a formal partnership.
HEAL Wellness hosted an official public launch event for the nutritious Spencer Bowl on May 23 at its CF Shops at Don Mills location in Toronto with complimentary mini bowls, merchandise, a DJ, photo booth, and a note-to-self wellness activity.
