How do you Infuse CBD with your Smoothies?

There are two ways to infuse your post-workout recovery smoothies with CBD.

1. CBD Isolate. Many people wonder how to use CBD isolate. Infusing food and drinks is one fun way to use CBD isolate. Pure CBD isolate is 99% pure CBD and is perfect for making your own CBD products. To make a CBD infused fruit smoothie with CBD isolate you’ll have to infuse it with a carrier oil. We recommend using unrefined coconut MCT oil for CBD infused smoothies.

2. CBD oil. Using CBD oil is super easy! Most CBD oil tinctures on the market utilize coconut MCT oil as a base and are ready to mix with just about any food or drink. Simply drop the desired amount of CBD oil in with your smoothie ingredients and blend well.

This whole process should take 10-20 minutes (20 if you’re using CBD isolate powder). If you enjoy this recipe please share your experience with us on social media @bloomhemp

The Keys to Cooking with CBD

Cooking with CBD might sound hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be finding excuses to infuse all of your favorite recipes with CBD. If you’re using a CBD oil tincture for cooking, then this process is simple. However, for those who want to start meal prepping with CBD cooking with CBD isolate is something you must know how to do.  Cooking with CBD isolate allows you to the flexibility to start meal prepping with CBD because of the amount of cannabidiol you can mix into each recipe. Sure, you could use an entire bottle of CBD oil tincture, but this is an expensive way about going this process. CBD isolate versatile and more affordable than most CBD products. Half of the point of meal prepping is learning to become cost-effective with your food. The same can be said about using CBD isolate instead of buying pre-formulated CBD products.

Pure CBD isolate powder allows you to take complete control over the dose and the ingredients used in whatever you’re making. You won’t have to worry about reading the label, or waiting for a CBD sale because cooking with pure CBD isolate powder makes meal prepping with CBD a breeze.

How to Use CBD Isolate for Cooking

The trick to infusing CBD isolate powder with a carrier oil is mastering the double boiling method. The double boiling method is a heat control technique used in cooking that allows you to alter substances like chocolate at low heat. As we mentioned about you’ll need to be careful not to expose your CBD to high temperatures.  You can buy a double boiler or simply use the DIY home method. The DIY method involves using two pots. One larger pot which you will fill partially with water. You’ll also need a second smaller pot that will sit inside the larger pot WITHOUT touching the water.  You’ll want the second pot to sit inside the larger pot a couple of inches above the water so that when the water boils, it doesn’t make your CBD too hot.  Bring the water in the larger pot to a low boil. Add 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen carrier oil to the top pot. Once your base oil is inside the smaller pot, you’ll add the desired amount of CBD isolate to the oil. Mix the CBD isolate powder into the carrier oil until the oil is clear, and the pure CBD isolate powder is no longer visible.  You now have a CBD infused carrier oil ready to cook with.
