Whether you’re shaking off soreness or sharpening concentration, the right mix of hydration, nutrients, and cannabinoids can make a difference. Below are easy CBD drink recipes to help you recover smoothly and stay clear-headed through your day.
Morning Kickstart: Matcha Lemon Sparkler (10–15 mg CBD)

CBD Drink Tips for Best Results
- Start low: Try 5–10 mg CBD at first, increasing slowly to gauge effects.
- Pick your format: Water-soluble CBD is best for clear drinks; oil tinctures blend easily into smoothies.
- Mix well: If your drink separates, add a touch of sunflower lecithin or shake before each sip.
- Stay consistent: Try drinking at the same time daily for balanced results.
- Know your limits: CBD can cause mild drowsiness—avoid driving if you feel sedated and consult your doctor if taking medication.
CBD-infused drinks can help you recharge, focus, and unwind naturally—one thoughtful sip at a time.
