CBD has taken over the health and wellness industry. It is now commonplace to hear about your friends taking CBD to empower their everyday life. But CBD Oil Hot Chocolate recipes? Has it come to this? In truth, the CBD industry is so versatile that there is now a virtually endless range of consumption methods. This is great news because it means that there is something for everyone!

Generally, though, people start with sublingual CBD oils and tinctures, which are taken by placing drops beneath the tongue. Mostly, CBD oils come without any flavorings, leaving the natural hemp taste to take over. Many people find this taste unpleasant, so they opt to either look for a flavored tincture or add their oil to a drink or food product. Thankfully, all of our LUFF CBD Oil Tinctures come with a refreshing and light citrus oil flavor so you can get all the depth of CBD, without the bitter hemp after taste.

Are CBD Hot Chocolates a Good Idea?

First of all, it’s important to consider whether CBD hot chocolates are right for you. Remember that you are drinking the CBD, meaning that it is processed similarly to an edible or capsule. In other words, the CBD may take a couple of hours to take effect, as opposed to the 30 or so minutes if you take it sublingually. The CBD is also released over a longer period, meaning its effects can last longer. Taking CBD is a very individual experience, and your method of imbibing will depend on a lot of personal factors. Of course, if you are dieting and avoiding sugar, then hot cocoa probably isn’t the choice for you! We wouldn’t recommend having a CBD hot chocolate every single day, but they certainly make a great treat every once in a while!

Choosing the Right CBD for Your Hot Chocolate

When it comes to choosing the right CBD product for your hot chocolate, you have a multitude of options. CBD isolate powders can easily be stirred into drinks and make a wonderful, flavorless addition; CBD liposomes can mix easily with other liquids and are perfect for CBD beverages. However, it’s a lot easier to get your hands on CBD oils than it is either of the above products. Furthermore, it’s easier to serve them with a strength that suits you. Here are our four favorite recipes to create that perfect CBD hot chocolate!
