Hot beverages are all the rage these days with the colder season coming upon us. It totally makes sense! Who doesn’t want to get cozy by the fireplace and sip on a warm drink? There are a number of trendy new lattes on the market. So below we are including our 3 health-boosting CBD lattes recipes that don’t include coffee so we can keep stress levels low and energy levels high.
Hot Chocolate
An obvious choice that we reach for is a cup of hot chocolate. However, this is no ordinary hot chocolate. We are adding in some medicinal mushrooms which are adaptogens that help to modulate the stress response over time and even boost focus and productivity. This means your body can learn to handle stress more effectively over time so you can also balance your mood and energy levels. Chocolate and CBD also work together to produce similar health benefits for a synergistic effect.
Recipe
1-2 tablespoons organic cacao powder
½ teaspoon Harmonic Arts mushroom blend
5-10 drops Theia CBD oil up to personal preference
1 cup vanilla almond milk
Coconut whip on top for fun!
Directions
Heat up vanilla almond milk on stovetop and stir in cacao powder. Remove from stovetop and add CBD oil and coconut whip. You can also spice this up by adding peppermint oil!
Turmeric Latte
This one has been bouncing around the internet for a while now and we are bringing it back better than ever. With CBD and the active component of curcumin from turmeric, this beverage becomes a powerful tool for fighting inflammation and pain management for chronic health conditions. In addition, turmeric can help with blood sugar management and improved insulin sensitivity. It also does not contain any caffeine or stimulants so you can drink it at any time of the day.
Recipe
1 cup vanilla almond milk
½ teaspoon organic turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
¼ teaspoon ginger powder
Pinch of black pepper (works with curcumin)
Pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup to taste
1 tablespoon coconut oil
5-10 drops Theia CBD oil up to personal preference
Directions
Heat up vanilla almond milk on stovetop and stir in other ingredients. Remove from stovetop and add CBD oil. You can also spice this up by adding cardamom powder!
Matcha Latte
This option is a great substitute for your morning cup of coffee without being followed by the energy crash. Matcha powder comes from green tea and contains some caffeine but also the amino acid L-theanine which produces a calming effect on the body. This drink is great for giving you some extra focus to boost your productivity levels throughout the day. We like this bulletproof version to complement the keto or the paleo diet or intermittent fasting for higher fat and protein content.
Recipe
1 tablespoon organic matcha powder
Splash of silk vanilla almond creamer
1 teaspoon grass-fed butter
1 tablespoon coconut MCT oil
5-10 drops Theia CBD oil up to personal preference
1 scoop collagen powder
Directions
Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add everything into a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon on top for added blood sugar balancing effects!
So there you have our 3 health-boosting CBD latte recipes that are both fun, tasty, and simple to make in your very own kitchen at home. You can also enjoy each of them with or without CBD oil. However, we love the addition of CBD since it really offers a synergistic effect and boosts the health benefits of each of these. You could really add CBD oil to any latte powder out there or even to your morning coffee!
For these CBD lattes, we suggest going with ICARIA’s THEIA product since it comes with no taste which makes it perfect for adding into your drinks and other creations.
