A CBD Summer
Happy July! We’re are in the heart of hot sunny, summer days — let’s talk about popsicles and your health and wellness goals.
Now seems like it’s the perfect time for you to kick back in your backyard and enjoy some sweet, sweet recovery — Resilience style.
You just pushed yourself through that last mile…one final rep. What better way to treat your body (and taste buds) than with an ice-cold, refreshing treat. These popsicles are a healthy twist on a summer classic.
We developed each of these recipes specifically for recovery, and all three are equally as delicious and effective. You can also re-create these using your favorite smoothie recipe and adding in one of our CBD Oils!
“ORANGE CREAM” AND CBD
This is a refreshing, extra sweet, and healthy way to boost your post-workout recovery. Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and it works alongside the CBD to relieve physical tension in those muscles you worked hard to build.
*Yields about 3 popsicles*
Ingredients:
- 1 ML Orange Rise CBD Oil
- 1.5 frozen bananas
- 1 orange
- Juice of ½ orange
- 1-2 heaping spoonfuls of Vanilla yogurt (we recommend greek)
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 serving of vanilla or flavorless protein powder
- 1 pitted date
Other Items:
- Popsicle mold or ice tray
- Popsicle sticks
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients except yogurt to blender and mix until smooth
- Add in yogurt.
- Pour smoothie into popsicle mold or ice tray. Drop in your popsicle sticks
- Freeze until firm.
ICED CBD BERRY
This is a super delicious, antioxidant-rich, and recovery-boosting smoothie. Berries are high in anthocyanins, which increase blood flow and aid in reducing inflammation.
*Yields about 3 popsicles*
Ingredients:
- 1 ML Orange Rise or Citron Zest CBD Oil
- 1.5 frozen bananas
- 1 ½ cup of frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries)

LEAN N’ GREEN
If you struggle to get all your veggies and greens into your diet, this a great way to do so. Vegetables, like broccoli, spinach, kale, and peas contain the highest sources of protein, so you better bet they’re incorporated in this lean, green popsicle recipe.
