Perth-based influencer Jules Neale has announced a partnership with Australian superfood chain Acai Bros to launch a limited-edition smoothie, marking one of her first major business ventures since her high-profile split from husband Lachie Neale.
The 'Peaches & Cream' smoothie, priced at $16.50, will be available at all 11 Acai Bros stores nationwide from Thursday, March 19. The drink combines Remedy Peach Kombucha, peaches, coconut yoghurt, mango nectar, banana, collagen and vanilla protein, offering 22 grams of protein.
Neale said the collaboration was a natural extension of her health-focused lifestyle. 'I wanted to create something that reflects the way I approach wellness day-to-day – simple, enjoyable and something you actually look forward to,' she told news.com.au.
The announcement comes after Neale moved to Perth to be closer to family following an alleged cheating scandal in January that rocked the AFL community. She now has around 160,000 Instagram followers and has been attending national events like the Australian Open and Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Megan DeHaas, General Manager of Marketing at Acai Bros, described Neale as a 'natural partner' for the launch, noting her strong connection with an audience that values wellness and beauty.
In promotional content for the smoothie, Neale posted an Instagram video showing her slicing a banana with her wedding ring finger visibly bare, which some fans interpreted as a subtle jab at her ex-husband. The post received an enthusiastic response from followers.
