CBD Popsicle Recipe

This recipe provides a foundation you can customize with your favorite flavors. It makes approximately 6-8 popsicles, depending on the size of your molds.

What You'll Need:

• 1.5 cups (about 360ml) of your favorite fruit juice (think orange, apple, a berry blend, or tangy lemonade!) OR 1.5 cups of pureed fresh fruit (berries, mango, or ripe peaches work wonderfully). If using puree, you might need to add a splash of water or juice to achieve a pourable consistency.

• 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or even plain sugar), adjust to your taste based on the sweetness of your fruit base. This is optional, especially if your fruit is already naturally sweet.

• Your desired total amount Herbstrong Recovery Drops (CBD Oil). For example, if you want each popsicle to contain 25mg of CBD and you're making 8 popsicles, you'll need 200mg of CBD in total. 
  

A secret weapon for smooth mixing:
1/4 teaspoon of lecithin (liquid or powder). This helps to emulsify the CBD oil and ensures it's evenly dispersed throughout the popsicle mixture. If you don't have lecithin, don't worry, a good vigorous blend will still help.

 

Let's Get Started!

1. Prep Your Fruity Base:

   • If you're using juice, simply pour it into a mixing bowl.

   • For fresh fruit, blend it until it's completely smooth. If it seems too thick, add a little water or juice until it reaches a pourable consistency.

2. Sweeten to Your Liking (Optional): Give your fruit juice or puree a taste. If it needs a little extra sweetness, add your chosen sweetener a bit at a time, stirring until it's fully dissolved.

3. The CBD Integration: This is where we ensure our CBD is nicely distributed:

   • With Lecithin (Recommended): In a small separate bowl, combine your measured CBD oil with the lecithin and about 1/4 cup of your prepared fruit base. Whisk or blend this mini-mixture very well until it looks uniform and the oil seems fully incorporated. This step creates a little CBD emulsion.

   • Without Lecithin: If you're skipping the lecithin, add your measured CBD oil directly to your main bowl of fruit base.

POUR:

Pour CBD mixture (if you used lecithin) into the main fruit base. Now, whisk everything together vigorously for at least 1-2 minutes. If you didn't use lecithin, blend the entire mixture in a blender for a minute or two to help distribute the CBD as evenly as possible.

FILL: 

Fill Those Molds: Carefully pour your CBD-infused fruit mixture into your popsicle molds. Leave a small amount of space at the top, as liquids expand slightly when they freeze.

INSERT: 

Insert the Sticks: Place your popsicle sticks into the molds. If your molds have lids with built-in stick holders, use those!

FREEZE:

Freeze Until Solid: Carefully transfer your filled popsicle molds to the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or ideally overnight, until they are completely solid.
