VANCOUVER, BC,
Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -
NEXE Innovations Inc. ("NEXE" or the "Company"), (TSXV: NEXE) (OTC Markets: NEXNF) (Frankfurt: NX5), a leader in plant-based materials manufacturing, is pleased to announce retail distribution for three of its
XOMA Superfoods beverages at 78 London Drugs locations in
Canada. The
January 2022 launch is an important step in expanding NEXE's offerings beyond ecommerce and providing retailers with sustainable options for single-serve beverages.
London Drugs has stores in 35 major markets in Canada that serve more than 45 million customers annually. XOMA Superfoods will be a leading product in London Drugs' 'Veganuary,' an annual challenge that promotes health and educates about veganism by encouraging people to follow a vegan lifestyle.
"We created the XOMA Superfoods line to make it easy for consumers to integrate delicious, plant-based superfoods into their lives," said Ash Guglani, President of NEXE. "All XOMA Superfoods products are packaged in our signature NEXE Pods, which are made of plant-based materials and sustainably manufactured in North America. Entering London Drugs is a major milestone in our distribution goals as we aim to work with quality retailers highlighting the benefits of the superfoods category."
XOMA Superfoods products available at London Drugs for Veganuary:
- XOMA Keto Cocoa: A rich, dark, and luscious keto hot chocolate made with quality fats from organic cocoa powder, vegan cocoa butter, and chocolate MCT powder. XOMA Keto Cocoa delivers the great taste and the health benefits of cocoa while being a great addition to a ketogenic diet.
- XOMA Matcha Latte: Made from finely-ground, shade-grown Japanese green tea leaves and packed with antioxidants, XOMA Matcha features a rich umami flavour that can help to decrease stress and increase alertness
- XOMA Turmeric Golden Milk: The dairy-free, thick, yellow, and spicy traditional health food drink contains curcumin, ginger, cinnamon, and other powerful ingredients. Turmeric has been a key component of traditional medicine and has been regarded as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant for thousands of years
"Plant-based eating is growing in popularity, and we believe that this interest will ultimately extend to how food and drinks are manufactured and packaged. Our NEXE beverage pods can be disposed of immediately after use, leave no mess, and do not need to be disassembled before composting, making it convenient to integrate more plant-based products into your life. The pods can break down completely in municipal compost facilities in as few as 35 days," added Guglani.
All three products are each sold in packages of 12 pods and are compatible with Keurig® single-serve brewing systems.
The superfood market is projected to reach $209.1 billion (USD) by 2026 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% according to KBV Research. 1
