Today’s market offers CBD in many forms. Cannabidiol-infused tinctures, capsules, edibles, vape oils, and topicals are only some of them.
Different products allow different ways of CBD consumption. Users generally choose the one that’s the most practical, which suits their needs the best.
But after a while, especially if you’re taking CBD the same way every day, the possibility that you will become bored is pretty high.
So for all of you who are looking for new, interesting ways to upgrade your CBD routine, here are our two delightful homemade CBD smoothie recipes.
You may be asking yourself, why CBD smoothies. Well, blending a CBD tincture into a smoothie and making a cannabidiol-infused drink offers a couple of advantages.
Firstly, they are quick and super easy to make. With the right ingredients you can get a delicious dose of cannabidiol in no time. You’ll see how simple it is when we get to the recipes.
Secondly, smoothies offer a large variety of choices since they can be made with practically any ingredient that you can think of. How you’ll combine them depends only on your preferences.
This is great because you can always remix the recipe and avoid getting bored with the same repetitive flavor.
Also, you have the freedom of determining the exact amount of CBD for your smoothies, which isn’t possible when you’re buying them from a vendor.
Thirdly, CBD smoothies are a very practical solution for having a CBD dose when you’re on the go. Once they’re blended, you can pour them in a bottle and take them anywhere you go. This way you can enjoy a CBD-infused refreshment whenever you want.
Finally, homemade smoothies can save you a lot of time. For instance, if you’re too busy to bake a CBD edible but you still want to add some flavor to your dose, smoothies come in handy since they’re made in no time and are very delicious.
They’re also an integral part of daily nutrition for so many of us. Why not try incorporating a CBD dose to a smoothie that you’re already making? Not only will you get the dose of cannabidiol that you require, but you’ll also get a good portion of veggies and fruits for the upcoming day.
With that being said, let’s take a look at some tasty CBD smoothie ideas.
Easy CBD Smoothie Recipes
CBD smoothies can be made with either CBD isolates or CBD oils.
In these recipes, we’ll be using our regular CBD oil tincture, which has 20mg of CBD in a full dropper, coming to a total amount of 20mg of CBD for two servings.
This means that if you follow the instructions, you will get the two smoothies that contain around 10mg of CBD.
Of course, you can also use your preferred CBD dosage or a dosage that is prescribed to you. Just be careful not to exceed the recommended daily amount.
The Pink Smoothie
Ingredients that you will need for 2 servings:
- 2 cups of mixed frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries)
- ½ chopped banana
- ¾ cup of milk (you can use nut milk as well)
- 20 mg CBD oil (a full dropper of our regular CBD oil)
Place the fruits and the milk in a blender, and blend until the ingredients are well mixed.
After that, add the CBD oil in the mixture and blend for another 20-30 seconds, so the oil is well combined with the rest of the ingredients. That’s pretty much it! Your CBD smoothie is ready for action.
The Green Smoothie
Here’s what you’ll need for 2 servings:
- 1 cup of fresh, washed baby spinach leaves
- 2 peeled and chopped peaches
- 1 peeled kiwi
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of dry ginger
- ¾ cup of water
- 20mg of CBD
Pour all of the ingredients (except the CBD oil) into the blender, and blend thoroughly.
Once you notice that everything has blended, add the CBD oil, and blend again so the oil can combine with the mixture.
You can drink it immediately, or let it sit in the fridge for half an hour, so you can have a frosty and refreshing CBD smoothie.
Ideal Time of Day to Drink a CBD Smoothie
Now that you got some fresh ideas for making colorful smoothies, you may wonder what’s the best time of the day to enjoy this creamy CBD-infused drink.
Just like everything CBD-related, it tends to differ from person to person, so there’s really no perfect time for having a CBD smoothie.
Some people like to start their day with a refreshing CBD drink, some enjoy it before a workout, while others like to drink their smoothie right after an exhausting training session.
