Cannabis Smoothie Infusion Options

There are many ways to infuse your cannabis smoothie, and you can choose one based on your available product and your taste preferences. 

Always remember to dose based on your tolerance. 

If you’re not sure how to start, follow the golden rule: start low and go slow.

Here are a few smoothie infusion options to choose from:

• Raw cannabis leaves
• Leftover cannabis pulp
• Cannabis coconut oil or MCT oil
• Homemade CBD oil or purchased CBD oil
• Tinctures – Green dragon or QWET method
• Cannabis concentrates – FECO or CBD distillate

Additional Smoothie Ingredients

Beyond just cannabis, this smoothie contains many delicious ingredients that are good for you, too!

Ground Turmeric

If you have never heard of it before, turmeric is a spice from the rhizome of the turmeric plant, typically ground into a powder form. 

Turmeric has a vibrant yellow color which helps to make this smoothie so beautiful.

This ground spice is one of the most popular and common 'superfoods' on the market today and has been studied extensively for its role in reducing inflammation in the body. 

These powerful properties stem from the important plant compound, curcumin, which is found in turmeric.

Curcumin is more bioavailable when paired with black pepper, which is why we have included it in this recipe (but don’t worry, you can’t taste it).

This is because black pepper contains a powerful component called piperine which has been shown to help increase the bioavailability of curcumin by 2,000%, according to clinical trials.

With the rise in the popularity of turmeric in recent years, you can now easily purchase it in any grocery store in the spice section.

Summer Squash

If you're like me, your summer squash harvest from the garden has been out of control this season. 

We have been harvesting nearly twenty zucchini and yellow squash a day, and while I have given a lot of it away, I still have about thirty squash sitting on my dining room table!

It is important to me to preserve our summer harvests as much as possible for the winter, which led me to the idea of freezing the squash to be added to smoothies throughout the year.

Summer squash makes an excellent smoothie base because it has a creamy, smooth texture and a milk flavor that easily blends with any other ingredients you use.
