Green Cannabis Pineapple Smoothie

This green cannabis pineapple smoothie is a whole-food, plant-based, gluten-free smoothie that tastes amazing, can be made in just 5 minutes, and comes with multiple different cannabis infusion options.

This whole-foods smoothie contains a serving of fruits and a serving of vegetables, providing many important nutrients and antioxidants.

The full-fat Greek yogurt helps to provide calories from both protein and fat, along with the fat from cannabis oil, providing you with all of the ingredients needed to have a nutritionally balanced snack or meal.

How To Make An Infused Green Smoothie

The trend these days is to infuse cannabis into everything, smoothies, coffees, cocktails, and more.

Cannabis edibles have the ability to support your endocannabinoid system, which helps to oversee homeostasis - or balance - of the body.

Eating cannabis has a 6-10% bioavailability rate compared to a 30% bioavailability rate when used as a tincture and absorbed sublingually.

The effects have a typical onset time of 30-90 minutes and an average duration of 4-8 hours.

There are many different ways to infuse a smoothie.

Milk Alternatives

This recipe features cannabis-infused milk or homemade hemp seed milk.

Of course, you can easily swap any milk you prefer for the hemp seed milk if you don't have any already made.

Sunflower seed milk, coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, traditional dairy milk - pick whichever you enjoy!
