Cannabis is a food-friendly herb that can spice up your recipes and add a plethora of health benefits to your nutrition regime.
We’ve heard many have adopted cooking with CBD or Hemp Oil with a lot of enthusiasm and joy even though cooking with CBD oil is still a relatively new phenomenon.
There are several helpful ways to consume CBD through a variety of Warfighter Hemp premium CBD products. And if you just don’t like the taste of CBD oil, mixing CBD with food and beverages is becoming the most straightforward method of implementing CBD daily. (But also, have your tried Warfighter Hemp’s Peppermint CBD Oil?! Jump below to see all the way to use this Peppermint Oil in your cooking.)
What Are CBD-Infused Drinks?
CBD-infused drinks are exactly what their name entails – drinks containing cannabidiol (CBD).
Hemp oil is derived from cannabis plants – it is the essential oil produced from the leaves, buds and stems. Once extracted (either mechanical or chemical means), it retains a range of phytocannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids found naturally in hemp oil.
Warfighter Hemp’s extract comes from USDA Certified Organic hemp and is blended with an organic hemp seed oil carrier loaded with 3-6-9 complex omegas. The combo of the hemp seed oil and hemp extract is optimal for absorption into the body.
Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids are chemical compounds found in hemp plants. There are over 80 different phytocannabinoids.
Research shows significant potential for phytocannabinoids to support health & wellness.* Hemp contains other beneficial phytocannabinoids.
These beneficial responses are what make CBD so appealing to Warfighter Hemp customers.
Different CBD Drink Recipes
Even though there are CBD drinks you can buy in stores or order at a pub or cafés, nothing will give you more joy than making your own at home since you can easily customize it to your taste. When making these drinks, the key ingredients you will need are Warfighter Hemp’s Full Spectrum or Broad Spectrum CBD Oils. These are very potent products which are perfect to add in drinks.
In this article, we’ve prepared a list of our favorite CBD-infused drink recipes that you can make in minutes. If you’re just getting started using recipes with CBD oil, we suggest that you make smaller batches at first. You know how it is, aspiring cooks often end up wasting their ingredients because they fail to recreate the recipe. So, make a batch just for you, then make another to share with a friend if it turns out great!
Mango CBD Smoothie
Nothing like a fresh, cold smoothie in the morning – and then adding CBD oil makes it all the better! You can adjust this recipe to fit your dietary needs by subbing the coconut milk for another milk variation; or add yogurt if you like your smoothie a bit thicker in substance. Or, even adding a vanilla protein powder for an extra source of protein to start your day. We also like adding more fruits to this drink to make it thicker and sweeter – such as banana, strawberries and so on.
