I've been experimenting with CBD for months, and I'm so excited to be sharing with you this delicious smoothie bowl recipe that tastes like an oatmeal mint chocolate chip cookie, and starts your morning off on a super chill note.
First things first, though, CBD is not the same thing as weed. Some of you might have just stifle a chuckle, or smirked at that statement, but I know a lot of people are confused about what, exactly, CBD oil actually is. According to Healthline, CBD Oil is “one of 104 chemical compounds” found in the marijuana plant, Cannabis Sativa. Unlike the compound Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, CBD oil is not psychoactive. In other words, CBD oil will not get you high.
It will, however, calm your nerves and ease any physical pain you might be struggling with. As someone who personally struggles with anxiety, I was excited to try the supplement for myself when the Stanley Brothers’ Charlotte’s Web approached me to test their product. At first, I was hesitant, but after doing extensive research on the subject of CBD Oil, I decided to add one dropper of the CW Chocolate Mint CBD Hemp Oil to a smoothie. Overtime, I’ve upped my dosage to two droppers per use, and I definitely see a difference in my attitude before and after consumption.
Before diving into the recipe, please take into consideration that I am not a doctor, nutritionist, or dietician. If you think you’d like to experiment with CBD, do your research and talk to your doctor to see if the supplement is right for you. And with that, let’s get into the recipe:
