• 2 scoops unflavored protein powder – optional, but it helps to increase the nutritional value of this smoothie

Alternate 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 unsure how to start, follow the golden rule: start low and go slow.

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

Make a Sleep Smoothie

If you’re looking for a nutritious way to prepare for a good night’s sleep, turning this smoothie into a sleep smoothie may be exactly what you need!

Research suggests that the cannabinoid CBN, nicknamed the sleep cannabinoid, may help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Swap your infusion option for a CBN-dominant option like CBN oil, enjoy it before bedtime, and you’ll be off to a slumber sleep in no time!

Holistic Approaches For Natural Relaxation

The most prominent pillar of holistic wellness is a functional nutrition approach and using plant-based foods as medicine to improve the quality of our lives and health.

This smoothie combines blueberries, lavender, and CBD oil as our star foods.

Wild Blueberries

While you can use any frozen blueberries, this recipe specifically calls for frozen wild blueberries due to their incredible nutrition and antioxidant benefits.

Compared to traditionally cultivated blueberries, wild blueberries have twice the number of antioxidants per serving.

Antioxidants also help minimize the number of free radicals in the body.

You can buy wild blueberries in the frozen section of your local supermarket at any time of year. The wild berries are frozen at their peak ripeness, preserving their nutritional value and leaving you with an amazingly delicious and healthful option all year.

Lavender

Lavender has been traditionally and medicinally used as part of a holistic lifestyle for thousands of years.

It has been reported that the smell of lavender can evoke a sense of stress relief and relaxation, probably due to the terpene linalool.

Together in this smoothie, lavender combined with avocado and banana proves to have some fantastic stress-relieving qualities. 

Lavender can be used fresh or dried, in oil or tea form, and can be used in this smoothie in whatever way you find it.

Milk & Plant-Based Alternatives

As we know, milk choices are a personal preference for everyone. 

Luckily, this smoothie is flexible, and you can use any milk you desire.

Whether a traditional dairy-based or a dairy-free alternative, switching milk to any plant milk will work just fine.

Plant milk substitutions include: 

• Almond milk 
• Hemp seed milk
• Pea milk 
• Oat milk
• Soy milk
• Cashew milk 
• Sunflower seed milk
