The Best CBD Fruit Smoothies Recipes
The journey of healthy living might be better described as the path less traveled. For every person still striving for better living, three others gave up along the way. The most difficult part of the journey? Changing your diet. Not going on a diet – changing your diet. What you eat, how much you eat, being conscious of all of these things can be difficult.

A great way to get through the early stages of the journey and fight through the struggle is CBD infused fruit smoothies. CBD infused smoothies are an exceptional way to cut the time out of cooking while enjoying all the benefits of a healthy meal. CBD infused smoothies are quick and easy to make, and affordable as well.

Why We Love CBD Infused Smoothies
Studies attribute CBD to a wide range of benefits for over 50 different conditions. This organic compound acts as an essential natural supplement for nourishing our endocannabinoid systems. A well-nourished endocannabinoid system has the ability to help the body heal itself and maintain healthy homeostasis. This is why CBD infused smoothies are becoming an essential part of wellness routines. From inflammation reduction to soothing aches and pains – this hemp-derived supplement has remarkable potential.
Make Your Own CBD Infused Products
Everyone loves CBD – but nobody likes the price. Who could blame you? $80.00 for CBD gummies that don’t taste as good as a bag of sugary sour patch kids. You’d probably choose to keep your money if you knew you could make CBD gummies at home for nearly half the cost. As amazing as some of these CBD products are – the prices are far too high. CBD edibles are expensive to buy but generally inexpensive to make. That’s why at Bloom, we’d rather teach you how to use CBD isolate and give you a few recipes to work with. We want to bridge that gap and make CBD accessible to everyone. Once you learn how to infuse CBD isolate with MCT oil, the rest is easy. Most companies use CBD isolate to formulate their products so they don’t like selling you the secret to the sauce. At Bloom, our mission is to empower our community to live healthier, happier lives through all things hemp. To make this goal a reality we believe it is critical that we are transparent and provide you everything you need to make your own CBD products. We won’t sell you mass-made formulations when we can give you access to the ingredients and let you personalize your CBD infused recipes, oils, and topicals.

Using CBD in Food – and More!
Early evidence suggests that CBD is best taken daily like you would other daily supplements. The idea is that the body will adapt to respond better to the supplement the more it is taken. Yet, as anyone can attest to, taking supplements every day isn’t fun. So why not add the supplement to your diet? Many health-nuts use smoothies to incorporate various proteins and supplements into their diets – the same can be done with CBD. Only, unlike protein powder, CBD easily blends with just about any of your favorite recipes. From guacamole to smoothies and sauces, CBD takes any dish to the next level. One of the most common questions we get is people asking us how to use CBD. While there are a variety of ways to use CBD, we believe cooking with CBD is simply the best. Cooking with CBD makes for a good time and you’ll probably learn a thing or two while getting healthier along the way. Cooking with CBD allows you to take full control of the ingredients cutting out some of the less than ideal ingredients used in commercial goods. CBD infused smoothies are a great place to start cooking with CBD isolate. For example, turmeric is famous for its anti-inflammation properties. When making anything from scratch you can add a dash of turmeric in with your CBD oil to create an anti-inflammatory cocktail that’ll turn whatever you’re creating into a healthy choice. The control is all yours. Nature provides us with all of the essential tools for healthy living. From hemp to ginger root, every plant has a purpose.
