6 CBD Infused Drinks that Naturally Boost Energy

6 CBD-Infused Drinks that Naturally Boost Energy

With 2021 just getting started, many people are looking to be more productive and seeking ways to increase their energy levels. For some of you, that means turning to coffee or sugary energy drinks. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are tons of natural and healthy energy-boosting beverages that you can try instead.

However, before considering some good alternatives, you need to ask yourself this question: does it matter if you become too reliant on coffee or sugary drinks?

The pitfalls of drinking too much coffee

In moderation, coffee can be a great pick-me-up. Research suggests that caffeine can elevate your mood, boost your metabolism and stimulate mental and physical alertness. But high doses can also produce several unwanted side effects, including the following:

  • Anxiety: caffeine increases alertness by causing the brain to produce adrenaline and reducing the effects of adenosine, a chemical released by the brain that makes you feel tired. At higher doses, these effects can become more intense, inducing nervousness and anxiety.
  • Insomnia: caffeine is great at keeping you awake. However, too much can make it harder to fall asleep. Caffeine can also reduce the quality of your sleep and decrease the total amount of sleep that you get.
  • Digestive troubles: caffeine stimulates colonic activity and is known to produce a laxative effect. For many people, too much caffeine can cause digestive discomfort or even diarrhea.

The issues with sugary drinks

The drawbacks to drinking too many energy drinks are arguably more pronounced than those associated with coffee. For example, on average, a 12-ounce energy drink contains a massive 41 grams of sugar!

Research also shows that consuming high-sugar drinks can cause weight gain and increase your risk of developing conditions like gout, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Six alternatives: CBD infused natural drinks to help boost energy

Thankfully, for those of you who like an energy boost but want to keep your drinks healthy and natural, there are many great alternatives. At Kat’s Naturals, we’ve put together six fun, CBD-infused drink recipes for you to try at home.

The addition of CBD will interact well with all of the ingredients below to enhance your energy. Even better, the cannabinoid may also enhance your focus, especially when it’s coupled with CBG. 

Just remember that CBD oil is fat-soluble. So if you decide to go off-recipe, be sure to include a little butter, coconut oil, or other fat to help your body absorb it.

1) CBD Infused Golden Milk Latte

This drink features several therapeutic benefits. Many studies indicate that ginger and turmeric—two of this latte’s primary ingredients—have restorative advantages. Both are believed to help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis, while turmeric may help manage conditions like diabetes. Ginger has also been shown to soothe stomach problems.

Ingredients (serves two)

  • 1½ cups almond milk

2) CBD Infused Chai Latte

In Western countries, Chai means tea. But in India, where this tea originates, Chai means tea with milk. It contains high amounts of caffeine, allowing you to experience the energy boost you need.

As long as you don’t go overboard, you can enjoy this delicious CBD infused Chai Latte without experiencing any problems.

Matcha provides a similar pick-me-up to coffee but without the jitters. It has a high concentration of flavonoids and L-theanine.

Ingredients
