Açaí berries are renowned for their exceptional antioxidant content. Like blueberries, acai berries contain anthocyanins, which give the berries their deep purple color. Antioxidants help protect the body’s cells from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. Acai is also packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E.

How to Make the Best Strawberry Açaî CBD Lemonade

Not all lemonade is made equal. This Strawberry Açaî CBD Lemonade is brimming with health benefits and refreshing flavors. The key to making the best CBD drink comes down to your CBD and your ingredient freshness.

Remember, strawberries are number one on the Environmental Working Group (EWG)’s “Dirty Dozen” list, meaning it is a fruit that has a high pesticide residue level.

To limit your potential exposure to pesticide residue, be sure to choose organic, in-season strawberries when possible.

If you are unable to get your hands on organic strawberries, you can still effectively wash and clean your fruit to use in this Strawberry Açaî CBD Lemonade recipe:

Place the strawberries in a colander or strainer and gently rinse them under cool running water. This helps remove dirt, debris, and some surface pesticide residues.
Create a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water in a bowl or basin. Submerge the strawberries in the solution and let them soak for about 5 minutes. The acidic nature of vinegar can help break down and remove some pesticide residues.
After soaking, rinse the strawberries thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining vinegar solution.
Gently pat the strawberries dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Be careful not to bruise the berries while drying.

When it comes to acai powder, lemonade, and grape juice, be sure to choose brands that you love that are also good for you! You can make your own lemonade or buy the most organic option you can find. The same goes for the grape juice as well.

What’s great about this Strawberry Açaî CBD Lemonade is that you can make it your own in a million different ways! Consider adding some garnishes and embellishments to mix things up.

If you need some ideas, try:

Fresh mint leaves
Fresh basil leaves
Basil seeds
Chia seeds
Strawberry garnish
Lemon wheel garnish
Fresh or frozen berries

If you want to step it up another notch, we recommend steeping green tea, letting it cool, and adding some of it to your lemonade for some added caffeine. You can use our CBG Tincture for Energy and Drive in this recipe for an extra boost instead. (Learn more about cannabigerol and its unique benefits in our Deep Dive into CBG).

You can keep it completely alcohol-free or add some of your favorite champagne, vodka, or tequila for a spiked refresher that will keep you relaxed on a busy summer day.

Lastly, select a good-quality CBD tincture to use in your smoothies. At Drops of Life, we prioritize creating products that are effective and easy to use. Our tinctures are made with 100% organic coconut-derived MCT oil and CBD isolate.

With our CBD Isolate Tincture, you can quickly incorporate the benefits of CBD into your daily routine. We also have a range of other tinctures that make it easy to use regularly in your recipes.

Adding CBD to Your Smoothie Recipes

CBD is a fantastic way to increase your day-to-day wellness routines. From workout recovery to improved sleep, there are endless benefits to using it. However, when adding it to your smoothie recipes, be sure to determine the right CBD dose for you.

Particularly if you are new to CBD, we suggest starting with the lowest dose (1 dropper full) and experimenting with that before increasing your intake.

For this Strawberry Açaî CBD Lemonade recipe, if you are using our 1000mg tincture, each 1 ml dropper will deliver approximately 33.33mg of CBD. Since the recipe below is for 2 servings, you could aim for a 50mg CBD per serving and use 3 dropper fulls for the entire batch.

To calculate the exact CBD dosage, take a look at the label on your tincture. The label will indicate how much CBD is in the entire bottle and how much CBD oil is in each serving.

Remember, start low and go slow when increasing your dose. Do what works best for you when making your Strawberry Açaî CBD Lemonade.
