This particular smoothie is generating all kinds of buzz and interest as the restaurant looks to fulfill its goal of providing healthy, fresh, and fast dining options.

These CBD infused smoothies are meant to give customers a way to nourish their mental and physical well-being in a tasty refreshing beverage.

Fuel Restaurant Striving to Make Its Mark

As Fuel Restaurant's president Rocco Cima comments, this isn't the first time the chain has looked to make a mark. In fact, rather than be a follower in the restaurant business, Fuel Restaurants have always strived to be a trendsetter.

Cima credits this new smoothie to the fact that CBD oil and edibles are becoming more mainstream and people are realizing the incredible health benefits CBD offers. With some calling it a whole new superfood, Cima felt it was time to include it in smoothies.

Fuel Restaurants are the very first in all of Philadelphia to offer CBD oil infused smoothies, and it has the exclusive distribution rights in partnership with a national distributor. His plans don't start and end with the smoothie though, as there are other CBD oil infused drink and food options set to debut too.

Even though Cima won't make any medical claims regarding the smoothie, there is plenty of research that shows CBD oil can help people to better manage and cope with depression, stress, anxiety, and more.
