This cannabis smoothie recipe is a simple formula: frozen fruit, milk and yogurt, plus one measured dose of a THC or CBD tincture or a small spoon of canna-oil. Because the infusion is measured per glass, you can change flavors as often as you like without redoing any math. It's a quick blend for a slow weekend morning or an afternoon at home.
One measured dose per glass
Whether it's a THC smoothie or a CBD smoothie, make one glass at a time with one measured dose in it. With a tincture, the label gives you a close figure for what went in; with homemade canna-oil, the number is a rougher estimate. If you're new to THC, start small: Health Canada suggests new consumers look for 2.5 mg of THC or less. Our THC dosage guide explains how to find your amount.
Tincture or canna-oil?
- Tincture: the easiest to measure. Labels list mg per ml, and a marked dropper keeps each dose consistent. Our cannabis tincture guide covers the basics.
- Canna-oil or cannabutter: THC dissolves in fat, not water, so an oil infusion mixes in best when the blend has some fat to carry it. Yogurt, whole milk or nut butter helps. Melt cannabutter first, or it firms into flecks on the frozen fruit. Making your own? Start with our canna-oil recipe.
Using infused almond butter as your nut butter? Count it as the dose and skip the tincture. And don't expect an indica or sativa label to make a smoothie calming or energizing; research shows those labels don't reliably reflect a plant's genetics. Our indica vs. sativa guide explains why.
How to blend it
Liquid goes in first, then the yogurt and infusion, then the frozen fruit, so the blades catch. Blend a full minute when you use an oil infusion. Thin it with milk or thicken it with ice, taste, and pour.
Cannabis smoothie recipe variations
Four infused smoothie ideas, each with the same single dose:
| Flavor | Fruit | Good add-ins |
|---|---|---|
| Berry | Mixed berries | A drizzle of honey |
| Tropical | Mango and pineapple | Coconut milk as the liquid |
| Chocolate-banana | Frozen banana | Cocoa powder and peanut butter |
| Green | Banana, pineapple and a handful of spinach | A squeeze of lime |
Storage and labeling
Drink it fresh, since the infusion can settle as it sits. For meal prep, freeze bags of fruit and add-ins and add the dose when you blend. Or freeze finished single-dose smoothies, each labeled with the cannabinoid, dose and date, on a shelf children and pets can't reach. If someone drinks one by accident, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
