A Nutritionist-Approved CBD Chocolate Shake Recipe

Bonus: It also helps combat stress. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear “chocolate shake” is probably “decadent” or “treat.” In all likelihood, the last thing you think of is “healthy.” But that’s exactly what you can call this chocolate shake recipe from Lauren Talbot. Lauren is an Erewhon nutritionist and author of Clear Skin Detox Diet. Luckily, this recipe also happens to be a decadent treat. (See what we did there?) Lauren’s healthy chocolate shake recipe is full of good-for-you ingredients like cacao, coconut meat, and HUM’s Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder.

Why This REcipe Is So Good For You

First, high-grade CBD oil has “neuroprotectant properties that bring the body into balance,” Talbot explains. She likes to use the Charlotte’s Web brand. “Studies show that it can be highly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and pain.” In addition, she says, when you combine CBD oil with nutrient-dense superfoods, it can help protect the body from free-radicals and premature aging. Then, coconut meat is a good source of lauric acid. “Lauric acid is said to have antibacterial and anti-fungal properties,” says Talbot. “Raw coconut meat is digestion-friendly, rich in enzymes, and lends itself to supple, glowing, and hydrated skin.” Also, raw coconut water is rich in electrolytes, which help replenish your body and balance fluid retention, she explains. “Finally, cacao is naturally rich in theobromine, which stimulates feel-good endorphins,” says Talbot. She adds that it’s also a great source of magnesium, which is great since she says most people are magnesium-deficient. And of course, Raw Beauty contains 39 different superfoods – plus adaptogens and probiotics for well-rounded recipe.
