If you have CBD ingredients, you can cook many amazing dishes. Cooking with CBD can be a great way to add variety to your CBD use if you don’t like the taste of raw CBD oil. The golden rule when cooking with cannabis products is to make sure you choose entrees that are not cooked above 180 degrees Celsius. If the temperature exceeds 180 degrees Celsius it can evaporate the CBD. If you don’t feel like cooking, you can also add CBD oil to certain sauces or broths.
Here are some tips and recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that are excellent to incorporate CBD in.
Breakfast
CBD smoothies
Let’s face it, most of us are extremely busy and don’t find the time to cook a meal every day, especially if you are not a morning person. Drinking a smoothie as a meal replacement is an excellent way to get the much-needed vitamins and nutrients to start the day while saving time in the kitchen. Adding CBD oil to your smoothie is a great way to enjoy a well-balanced breakfast. Moreover, CBD oil will not affect the texture of your drink.
Having a CBD-infused smoothie in the morning is especially helpful if you tend to wake up with aches and pains, or if you have anxiety in the morning. You can even have your smoothie later on in the day as a replacement for a sugary dessert like ice cream.
Lunch
CBD-Infused Salad Dressings Or Condiments
As mentioned above, it’s very important not to cook CBD oil above 180 degrees Celsius. If you want to avoid the risk of overheating CBD oil, you should opt for recipes that don’t need to be cooked. Salad dressings and other condiments are a great option for those who want to have CBD with their lunch. For example, CBD-infused olive oil can be used to make a vinaigrette salad dressing.
Dressings can be used as a base for a variety of delicious savory recipes. CBD olive oil can be used as an ingredient to make your own homemade mayonnaise. There are many lunches that can be prepared with CBD condiments like sandwiches. CBD oil can be added to a variety of shelf-stable condiments. These include ketchup, barbecue sauce, or even hot sauce. This way, you can enjoy CBD with just about any meal.
Dinner
CBD Curry
Many people love the taste of cannabis and prefer to take their CBD oil under the tongue directly. Others, however, love the benefits that CBD can provide but dislike the taste. Those who are sensitive to the taste of cannabis will need stronger flavors to cover it. If you dislike the earthy taste of CBD oil, you should consider CBD-infused curries.
Using CBD oil in curry is probably the best way to mask the taste of raw hemp oil. Many Indian curries typically have strong flavors of spices, herbs, and nuts. The overpowering taste of the spices should be enough to overshadow the taste of CBD oil. Remember that it is important to cook curry with CBD oil at low heat. This is also a great way to make sure all of the flavors are well incorporated. Coconut flavor works well with most Thai and South Indian recipes. Making a cannabis curry with CBD-infused coconut oil is another great option for a healthy CBD-infused dinner.
Midday Snack
CBD granola bars
If you don’t cook often and are looking for a great option for making CBD-infused edibles, making snacks on the go could be a good option for you. Homemade granola bars make a healthy midday snack to keep you going between meals. One tasty option would be to use CBD-infused coconut oil for granola bars.
Granola bars are easy to prepare, and the best part is that you can decide which ingredients go in. Whether it’s a classic bar with dried fruit or something salty with nuts, this is an excellent way to enjoy the many benefits of CBD oil.
The Bottom Line
Whether you are eating CBD with your breakfast, lunch or dinner using healthy fresh ingredients will ensure that you are having a well-balanced meal.
