Who likes to get creative in the kitchen? Whether you’re the type to meal prep for the week or take time out of your day to whip up your favorite dishes, we want to share 3 healthy recipes made with CBD oil to boost your wellbeing.
As a CBD beginner, education is key, but experimenting is the way you can truly understand what works and doesn’t work for you. Let’s start off by discussing the potential health benefits of CBD.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a plant compound found in the cannabis sativa hemp plant and scientific studies are demonstrating that it might actually have healing properties for inflammation, pain, anxiety, depression, and more. Buying CBD has never been more popular and we get the hype. Unlike pharmaceuticals that can have negative side effects, CBD products do not usually induce negative side effects. The most common is dry mouth and the least common is drowsiness.
These recipes are not your typical comfort food recipes or weeknight meals. Instead, they’re healthy snacks you can have throughout the day to nourish and energize your body. They take way less than 30 minutes to make and you’ll get your recommend CBD content in for the day!
ReThink’s CBD products are only made with broad spectrum CBD oil which is THC free and drug test friendly in case your job requires routine testing. There are other CBD’s on the market like isolate and full spectrum CBD.
Even though industrial hemp has been made to contain little to no THC traces can still enter the body. Full spectrum does contain trace amounts of THC while isolate is stripped of the other many beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant.
With ReThink’s pure CBD oil, you’ll be sure to feel the benefits in no time.
Let’s get to the cooking!

For extra healthy fats and to make it more filling, add in a heaping tablespoon of nut butter (optional).

Superfood & CBD granola
Another snack prep recipe coming your way. This recipe should make a jar full for a full week of granola loving. Packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and carbs, you’ll never miss a superfood.
To a baking tray add: a cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of shaved almonds, 1/4 cup of quinoa, 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup of hemp and chia seeds, 1/4 cup of cranberries and drizzle a mix of maple syrup, 3 dropper fulls of CBD, cinnamon, salt, and nut butter (made to your liking of sweetness and creaminess).
