5 Easy Cannabis-Infused Summer Recipes

Before recreational marijuana was legalized, cannabis recipes were fairly limited. Now, you can find cannabis cookbooks, hundreds of recipes online, and plenty of products to easily infuse your meals at home. The days of just weed brownies and cookies are over (although we still love those!) as there are tons of new and creative ways to get in your daily dose. If you’re looking to enjoy some summer classics with a cannabis twist, here are 5 easy cannabis-infused summer recipes that’ll be sure to satisfy your cravings. You can also check out our full menu of flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates to pair with these recipes. 

Frozen Raspberry Lemonade 

Summer wouldn’t be complete without some lemonade. Elevate the classic by making a canna-infused Frozen Raspberry Lemonade. This recipe is simple to make and only takes about 5 minutes. All you’ll need is a blender and a few ingredients:

• Blender
• 1½  cup ice
• ¼ cup filtered water
• 1½  cup fresh raspberries (frozen works too!)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• Your preferred dosage of Mellow Vibes Raspberry Lemonade Mojo Elixir

To make, simply add all your ingredients to a blender, mix, and serve. This refreshing drink is perfect by the pool, after a hot afternoon walk, or even just relaxing in the house. 

Cannabis-infused fruit salad

You can also add extra toppings like chopped almonds, shaved coconut, or whipped cream for extra flavor. We also love using City Tree’s Chocolate Agave tincture for additional sweetness. The 1:1 CBD/THC ratio also makes it a good choice for those wanting a soothing effect. 

To make this recipe, start by washing all your fruit and patting dry. Use a spoon and mix together. After that, dose out your preferred amount of tincture and mix again. Enjoy! 

Strawberries n’ cream popsicles

If you have extra time on your hand, these strawberries n’ cream popsicles are worth the effort.

 For this you’ll need:  

• Popsicle mold
• 1 ¼  cups fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 7-ounce can of coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Your preferred dosage of any cannabis-infused tincture

To start, wash and hull your strawberries. Next, add them to a food processor. Add ½ of your sugar and puree into smooth. 

In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and remaining sugar. Add in your preferred dosage of CBD or THC tincture. This recipe can make 6 popsicles, so per sure to consider the amount you want in each. For example, if you want 10 mg per popsicle, add 60 mg to the bowl. If you want 5 mg, add 30 mg to the bowl. 

Lastly, fill your mold with the strawberry and coconut mixtures in alternating layers. Add popsicle sticks to your mold and freeze for 4 hours. Enjoy!

S’more 

You can’t go wrong with this summer classic: the s’more. Take chilling by the campfire to the next level. This recipe is simple, straightforward, and equally as delicious. For it, you’ll need graham crackers, marshmallows, and your favorite chocolate edibles. 

You can use a classic Milk Chocolate Bar, or even try adding new flavors like this White Chocolate Cookies ‘N’ Dream Bar. Make sure if you’re melting the chocolate to not heat it too quickly, as that could potentially degrade the cannabinoids in it. However, if you’re just roasting the marshmallow and adding it on top of the chocolate, there’s no need to worry. 

Soda float 

If you’re feeling nostalgic, revisit your childhood by recreating this staple summer recipe. This cannabis-infused soda float can be made in a few different ways. You could use a THC-infused soda, a tincture, or mix in a cannabis-infused shot with any regular soda. At Green, we offer a variety of edible beverages to choose from. Once you found your favorite, mix with vanilla ice cream, any soda, and serve!
