Editor's Take
So here's the thing about Recess-it's basically what happens when someone finally figured out how to bottle that "ahh" moment you get after a really good yoga class. The company makes drinks and powders designed to help you feel "calm cool collected" in a world that seems determined to stress everyone out.
Founded in 2018 by Benjamin Witte and based in Los Angeles, Recess started with a simple observation: it's easier to be creative, productive and fun when you're calm. And honestly? That tracks. With 8 in 10 Americans reporting daily stress, and our jobs and commutes being more overwhelming than ever, someone needed to create an antidote.
What sets them apart isn't just the hemp extract and adaptogens-though those certainly help. It's that they've managed to make wellness drinks that don't taste like punishment. Their Recess Mood sparkling water is infused with magnesium and adaptogens, with each flavor made from real fruit and no fake stuff. We're talking about 53mg of magnesium from their proprietary blend, plus L-theanine and lemon balm powder in every can.
But here's where it gets interesting-they've expanded beyond just the original sparkling waters. Their Recess Mood powder is a ready-to-mix blend featuring magnesium, adaptogens and electrolytes, with 1.6g of their proprietary magnesium blend and 200mg of L-theanine. Plus there's Recess Zero Proof, which is basically their answer to mocktails that don't suck.
The brand has this whole aesthetic thing going on-calming pastel colors, fluffy clouds, and a subtle '90s vibe that's definitely Instagram-worthy. And with 145K followers on Instagram, it seems like people are buying into the vibe as much as the actual product.
Notice how they've positioned themselves not as just another CBD drink, but as a "relaxation platform"? In business lingo, you might call them a Relaxation platform, as they put it. That's smart positioning in a crowded wellness market where everyone's trying to solve the same problem with slightly different ingredients.
