You may currently be using CBD products to de-stress, rid yourself of anxiety, and treat your sleeping troubles. But are you ready to take your CBD routine to the next level? Start incorporating it into food and drinks! This will take not only add to your daily CBD routine but will level up your cooking. I am going to guide you through the golden rules of cooking with your CBD products and show you one of my favorite recipes. If you’re new to CBD and want to know more about its benefits and how it impacts your overall health and well being click here.
A quick overview of the way CBD can improve your health:
CBD reduces anxiety, relieves chronic pain, improves sleep, fights tumors and the slow progression of cancers, and helps in decreasing seizure activity in those with epilepsy. If you’re unsure about the correct dosage I recommend starting low and working your way up. Start with a 25mg serving and then slowly increase or decrease based on how you feel. It takes about an hour to feel the results so be patient before taking more.
With all of these great benefits, it is easy to see why CBD has become a part of many people’s daily rituals. There are a handful of ways to incorporate CBD into your life. You can use a topical or salve and massage it onto your skin, ingest it through gummies, honey, coffee, or tinctures, and even take it in capsule form. My personal favorite is adding CBD-infused oil to my tea or baked goods. I add the Zelle Hemp Company Full-Spectrum CBD Oil to my morning coffee or my mid-day matcha lattes. The CBD bliss balls recipe below is my personal favorite for an afternoon snack or dessert, I think you’ll love it.
Homemade CBD bliss balls:
Makes 12 balls
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Sliced Almonds (Roasted/Salted or Raw)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon (120 mg) Zelle Hemp Company Full-Spectrum Vanilla CBD-infused MCT oil
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs (sub for dark chocolate)
Directions
- Place the sliced almond on a cutting board. Chop them down so that they are very fine and almost at a powder consistency.
- Add in the melted coconut oil and Zelle Hemp Company Full-Spectrum Vanilla CBD oil. Mix these ingredients until you get a thick and smooth nut butter consistency. It doesn’t hurt to add more coconut oil to get your desired texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the “almond butter”, almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, crushed chocolate, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until you get a mixture that is similar to cookie dough.
- Taste the dough and add a few drops of stevia or Manuka honey if you have a bit of a sweet tooth.
- Fold in the cacao nibs or crushed dark chocolate
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a small ball between your palms. Repeat this until all the mixture has been used.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to harden. Bliss Balls will stay fresh in the freezer for up to a month.
