Green Dream Hemp CBD Smoothie

This Green Dream Hemp CBD Smoothie is a whole-food, plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free smoothie that tastes amazing while delivering an abundance of nutrients and antioxidants.

Green Dream Hemp Seed Smoothie

It can be hard to find a smoothie that tastes delicious, especially a green one. Many people have a hard time getting past the green color, but I assure you, this Green Dream Hemp Seed Smoothie is truly delicious.

So delicious, in fact, it was featured in my first cookbook, The 30-Minute Thyroid Cookbook: 125 Healing Recipes for Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism.

Whether you have Hashimoto’s or not, this smoothie is perfect for anyone who is looking to incorporate many nutritious ingredients like mango, spinach, and hemp seeds into their diet.

CBD Infused Hemp Seed Smoothie

The trend these days is to infuse CBD into everything, smoothies, coffees, cocktails, and more. Orally consuming CBD has the ability to support your Endocannabinoid system which helps to oversee homeostasis – or balance – in the body.

Eating CBD 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 time of 4-8 hours.

While there is nothing wrong with consuming CBD orally, you may find that you find greater benefits when used differently. Learn more about the different ways to cook with CBD oil here.

Hemp Seed Milk Smoothie

This recipe features my homemade hemp seed milk along with my full-spectrum CBD oil. This smoothie is simple, convenient, delicious, and ready in just a few minutes.

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!

Surprising Hemp Seed Health Benefits:

• Hemp seeds and homemade hemp seed milk are not only nut and/or tree-nut free, but they are also free of the Top-8 major allergens found in food, which account for nearly 90% of all food allergies in the United States. 

The Health Benefits of Spinach

While this recipe includes spinach, any dark leafy green will do. If you have kale or swiss chard on hand, that will work as well.
