Super Green CBD Matcha Smoothie
Greens greens greens. There’s a reason your doctor (and parents) told you to work green food into your everyday: they’re full of fiber, vitamins, minerals & phytochemicals that benefit the whole body. Combining CBD and matcha, this is something else. We call it the Super Green CBD Matcha Smoothie. It packs in energy AND a sense of center. Delicious and easy to make, we find it’s perfect any time of day.
Side benefit: let’s talk about satiety! This smoothie will help make you feel full and satisfied, so swap out the chips for this & turn your snack time into something healthy.
Up first… Dates!
Dates are a great source of natural sugars. They also support healthy digestion and are rich in antioxidants. As a reminder, antioxidants prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, which the body natural products due to environmental or other pressures. These free radicals may play a nasty role in heart disease, cancer, and other ailments.
Even better, dates are a great natural sweetener. For a CBD matcha smoothie with a base of greens, you might think it’s going to be all grassy flavor. Combat that with some dates and you’ll have some fresh, sweet greens (tastes like heaven).
Then Avocado!
Avocado is one unique fruit. It has been prized for centuries for its delicious taste and its impressive nutrition. Why? Well, they’re loaded with healthy fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants and complex carbohydrates. They actually contain more potassium than a banana (although bananas get all the credit).
If avocados had a billboard, it would probably read: Packed with monounsaturated fatty acids! Loaded with fiber! LOADED with antioxidants and can protect your eyes! Avocado can help support lower cholesterol and improved triglyceride levels!
Okay, you get it: we love avo,
CBD Matcha, of course.
Matcha is packed with antioxidants, which again, supports your immune system. It’s also rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins. It’s similarly high in a catechin called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). This is believed to have cancer fighting effects on the body, making matcha a perfect addition to the super CBD matcha smoothie.
Your Body Needs Spinach!
Popeye liked spinach for a reason. Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals, and it’s been researched in its ability to help regulate blood pressure, boost immune system and maintain a healthy brain. It’s just a dang good leafy green.
