How to Infuse CBD
When it comes to infusing CBD with food, you have two main options.
- CBD Isolate
- CBD Oil (Tincture)
CBD Isolate: CBD Isolate powder is 99% pure CBD. CBD Isolate is the most versatile CBD product on the market and perfect for infusing your favorite recipes with CBD. To infuse pure CBD isolate with food and drinks you’ll first have to infuse it with unrefined coconut MCT oil. Feel free to use the base oil of your choice, but for most smoothie recipes we recommend coconut MCT oil.
Use the double boiling method to infuse CBD isolate with unrefined coconut MCT oil. If you don’t know what the double boiling method is, check out this complete guide to CBD infusion here. Using CBD Isolate powder to make CBD infused foods gives you complete control over all of the ingredients used in the process, as well as dosage.
CBD Oil Tincture: If you already use CBD oil that has an MCT oil base – you’re in luck. Any CBD oil tincture with an MCT oil base is ready-made to infuse with your favorite foods and drinks. Simply drop the desired dose in with ingredients as instructed by the recipe.

The Benefits of CBD Infused Smoothies
As CBD continues to grab headlines across the country you’ve likely heard a couple of claims surrounding CBD. But, did you know that studies link CBD to benefits for over 50 different conditions? From deterring neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s to reducing chronic stress and inflammation, researchers continue to discover remarkable traits related to CBD every day.
CBD goes to work nourishing your endocannabinoid system by signaling the body to produce more naturally occurring cannabinoids. Endocannabinoids then go to work optimizing balance throughout your body. Whether that means boosting your immune system or reducing inflammation, research shows that endocannabinoids play a critical role in our health.
CBD is quickly gaining notoriety as a superior natural supplement because of all the associated benefits. What is the best part of this naturally occurring super-compound? You can infuse CBD into your favorite recipes to get a healthy boost with each meal.
Make More of Your Own CBD products
Unfortunately, the more popular CBD becomes, the more expensive CBD-infused products seem to become. That is the beauty of pure CBD isolate. Pure CBD isolate powder is the rawest form of CBD available and is perfect for making your own CBD infused products. Instead of paying $80.00 for CBD gummies, you can make them yourself with CBD isolate for less than $50.00. CBD isolate powder puts the power in your hands to not only make whatever you want but design CBD products that work best for you.
Don’t overpay for supplements that aren’t tailored to you. From complete control over what ingredients are used to measuring out specific doses – making your own CBD products with CBD isolate is an easy choice.
