The ideal workout shake is going to contain a few essential ingredients including protein, essential vitamins, healthy fatty acids, and easy to burn through natural sugars that will help to give you a little extra boost. The icing on this metaphorical cake is the infused portion of the shakes that can help to either keep you going through a long strenuous workout or to heal after stretching all your muscles to their limits. The key is not getting too stoned, and instead of achieving an efficient soothing sensation that doesn’t make you couch bound or unmotivated.

Feel free to experiment and make these recipes your own.

How to use CBD oil

You probably noticed that the recipes above require the addition of cannamilk as the base for infusion. This is an excellent way to make these marijuana edibles without the additional taste that is so often associated with weed infused goods but isn’t always a viable option. Particularly for those who are seeking a CBD dose that doesn’t include the mind-altering components like THC. If you would like to make these workout shakes using CBD oil, just substitute the cannamilk for unsweetened white or almond milk and add in 5-10 drops of CBD oil.

Best marijuana strains for working out

There are thousands of different cannabinoids produced by marijuana plants, and the ones that are most beneficial to someone who is looking to add to a workout routine are THC and CBD. Ideally, a strain with a healthy amount of both cannabinoids is preferred. This is because THC will help to alleviate immediate discomforts, while CBD will be more effective long term as it battles inflammation which can lead to pain several hours after strenuous activity. Here are just a handful of marijuana strains that would make an excellent addition to these recipes.

   Type: Hybrid
   THC: 9%
   CBD: 16%

2. Pennywise
   Type: Indica
