Customer Spotlight: How Our Followers Use CBD in Their Cooking

Guides

Let’s face it—CBD has gone from being the mysterious new kid on the block to the life of the wellness party. From oils to gummies to skincare, it seems like CBD is everywhere these days. But let’s talk about a trend that has us drooling: cooking with CBD. Yes, you heard that right. Our followers have been taking their culinary game to the next level by incorporating CBD into their meals, and honestly? Some of these creations deserve their own Michelin stars.

We asked our community to share their favorite CBD-infused recipes, and they delivered in style. From Buddha bowls to baked goods, here’s how our followers are making CBD the secret ingredient in their kitchens.


Coconut Bowls with a CBD Twist

If you’re not already obsessed with coconut bowls, prepare for a love affair. These eco-friendly bowls are not only Instagram-worthy but also perfect for serving up colorful, nutrient-packed meals. One of our followers, Sarah, swears by her CBD-infused Buddha bowl recipe.

Here’s how she does it:

  1. The Base: Start with a mix of quinoa and fresh spinach.
  2. The Toppings: Add roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, chickpeas, and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for that pop of color.
  3. The Dressing: Here’s where the magic happens—Sarah whisks together olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, and a few drops of CBD oil. The result? A creamy, tangy dressing that ties the whole bowl together and adds a subtle sense of calm to your meal prep chaos.

Pro tip from Sarah: “Don’t go overboard with the CBD oil! A little goes a long way, and you don’t want your Buddha bowl tasting like a hemp farm.”


CBD-Infused Banana Bread

Ah, banana bread—the unofficial mascot of quarantine cooking. But our follower Jake decided to give this classic a modern twist by adding CBD oil to his recipe. The result? A loaf that’s equal parts comforting and calming.

Jake’s secret is simple: add 1-2 teaspoons of CBD oil to your wet ingredients before mixing them with the dry ones. “It doesn’t change the flavor much,” Jake says, “but it does make your banana bread feel like a warm hug after a stressful day.”

He also recommends adding dark chocolate chips and walnuts for extra texture. “And if you really want to impress someone,” Jake adds with a wink, “serve it with a dollop of CBD-infused whipped cream on top.”


Zen Smoothies

Mornings can be rough—we get it. But one follower, Mia, has found the perfect way to start her day on a chill note: a CBD-infused smoothie. Her go-to recipe is as easy as it is delicious:

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon cacao powder
  • A handful of spinach (because health)
  • A few drops of CBD oil

Blend it all together, pour it into your favorite mason jar (because aesthetics matter), and top with chia seeds or granola. “It’s like drinking a spa day,” Mia says. “Smooth, creamy, and just enough CBD to keep me from losing my mind when I check my inbox.”


Elevated Brownies

Brownies are already the ultimate comfort food, but one follower—let’s call her Emily—decided they needed an upgrade. Enter: CBD brownies.

Emily starts with her favorite brownie recipe (boxed mix or homemade—no judgment here) and stirs in CBD oil right before pouring the batter into the pan. The key, she says, is to calculate how much CBD oil you’re using based on how many servings you’ll have. “You don’t want to accidentally turn your dessert into a nap,” Emily jokes.

Her pro tip? Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for that sweet-and-savory combo that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.


Pasta Night with a Side of Chill

Who doesn’t love pasta night? One follower, Alex, decided to make his signature garlic cream sauce even more indulgent by adding—you guessed it—CBD oil.

Alex’s recipe involves sautéing garlic in butter, whisking in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and finishing it off with a few drops of CBD oil. Toss it with your favorite pasta (Alex recommends fettuccine) and top with fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes for a dish that’s equal parts cozy and calming.

“Pair it with a glass of wine,” Alex says, “and you’ve got yourself the ultimate date night meal—whether your date is someone special or just Netflix.”


A Few Tips for Cooking with CBD

Before you run off to raid your pantry, here are some quick tips from our followers for cooking with CBD:

  1. Start Small: If you’re new to cooking with CBD, start with just a few drops and adjust as needed. You can always add more later!
  2. Low Heat is Key: High temperatures can degrade CBD oil’s potency, so avoid frying or cooking it at super high heat.
  3. Mix It In: Whether you’re making dressings, batters, or sauces, mix your CBD oil thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  4. Know Your Dosage: Keep track of how much CBD oil you’re using so you can enjoy its benefits without overdoing it.

So there you have it—proof that CBD isn’t just for tinctures and teas anymore. Whether you’re whipping up a Buddha bowl or indulging in some brownies, there’s no wrong way to incorporate CBD into your cooking (okay, maybe don’t put it on your cereal).
