Smoothies may already be your current go-to breakfast in the morning, or post-workout refuel in the evening. You probably already love them for the energy, protein, and nutrients they provide. Well, after hearing about the latest smoothie ingredient superstar—CBD—you’re going to be tempted to kick start your blender into overdrive.

- soothe pain
- ease anxiety

- recover from exercise
It doesn’t take much to enjoy these benefits. Most recipes, including the ones below, call for about a teaspoon CBD oil per 1-2 servings. Happy blending!
