As the cannabis boom continues, cannabis has been incorporated into several different products, including topical products, capsules, edibles, and even drinks. Of course, some people wish to enjoy the benefits of cannabis while enjoying a bit of the psychoactive high that comes along with THC, while others have medical conditions that can be managed through the use of multiple cannabinoids.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the chief therapeutic cannabinoid compound and doesn’t have the properties necessary to create a high. Whether you’re looking for physical or mental relief, consider mixing CBD with certain drinks to make a stunning and delicious beverage. Our team at Dank Budz has outlined a few daytime CBD drink recipes we recommend trying for yourself.

None of the drinks listed below contain alcohol, and if you’re careful to use a broad-spectrum CBD product without THC, you won’t have to worry about becoming impaired after consumption. Regardless of whether you’re a beginner or a professional mixologist, anyone can craft these drinks themselves to take the edge off a tough workday.
CBD Daytime Recipes We Recommend
There are plenty of CBD drink recipes for relief online, and you may be unsure where to start or how to make your drink the most effective. Below are just some of the recipes we’ve tried ourselves and found to be the most unique. Keep in mind that along with no alcohol, most of these recipes do not contain any dairy products, meaning those with lactose intolerance won’t have to worry about becoming ill by consuming these drinks. Another thing to keep in mind is the type of CBD product you choose. While oil-based products can mix up well with warm beverages that contain plant or animal fats (think almond milk), they will eventually separate. This process occurs more quickly with cold, water-based drinks, so you may want to consider whether you prefer alcohol- or water-based tincture you can mix with the drink of your choice or enjoy the earthy taste of cannabis oil as it floats to the top.

Matcha CBD Latte
Description
If you constantly get headaches after consuming caffeine, drinking a matcha latte may be the best alternative for you. Add in a little bit of CBD oil, and you can get the energy you need without the headache afterward.
Ingredients
- 1 t matcha powder
- 1 c almond milk of your choice
- 1 t honey
- 1/2 t CBD oil
- 1/4 c hot water
Instructions
- Add the matcha powder, hot water, and honey to your mug.
- Whisk together until the powder has completely dissolved.
- Heat your almond milk to a slow simmer.
- Pour the milk into the mug, mix everything together, and then stir in the CBD oil.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can also add coconut butter to enhance the flavor if you’d like, and this can be done during step 1. If you don’t have a whisk, you can give the drink a quick spin in a blender or frother as an alternative.

You may look at this drink’s name and worry about its contents, but this specific drink is different due to its use of CBD tincture rather than alcohol. Sangrias tend to be shared among people, and if you have other people in your life who could use a boost, this CBD Sangria may be a great choice to please a crowd.

- Add the rest of the above ingredients to the pitcher and mix together.
- Let it rest in your fridge.

Notes
While non-alcoholic drinks are preferable for the daytime, you can replace the red grape juice with red wine if you’d like a party drink for the evening hours.
CBD Breakfast Lassi
Description
The Lassi is a traditional Indian drink that isn’t only a great source of energy in the morning – it also includes plenty of healthy fats and nutrients that last for several hours. Combine this with CBD tincture, and you can experience a sense of calmness while absorbing essential nutrients to get through the work day. This recipe does contain dairy, but you can absolutely craft something delicious with your favorite plant-based milk, butter, and yogurts.
Ingredients
- 1 c plain Greek yogurt (plant-based if you prefer)
- ½ c whole milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 T butter (or a plant-based substitute)
- 5 drops of CBD tincture
- 1 peach, diced
- 1 t of grated ginger
- 1 c mango chunks (check the freezer section of your favorite grocer)
Instructions
- Add the yogurt, milk, butter, and CBD tincture to a blender and mix until smooth.
- After the mixture is finished, add the ginger and fruit and blend again.
- When the drink is at your desired consistency, pour it into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
If you can’t consume dairy or are vegan, you can replace the whole milk, yogurt, or butter with their respective substitute options. However, doing this may reduce the absorption rate of the CBD. Experiment with different ingredients to find the combination that works for you. Lastly, you can add mint leaves or honey to the final result if you want to enhance the flavor, but this is completely optional.

- ¼ t cinnamon
- ¼ c rolled oats
- ½ c Greek yogurt
- 5 drops of CBD tincture
Instructions
