How to Introduce CBD into Your Daily Routine

If you have heard or read about the benefits of CBD hemp extract, the next question is how to integrate the proper product(s) into your daily routine.  Once you’ve found the right high-quality, full-spectrum product, like iKOR hemp extract, you get to enjoy the fun part–experimenting with your favorite way to take it and experiencing all the benefits it has to offer! 

These are three of our favorite ways to take CBD that can keep your body well-fueled and recovering quickly

Four Ways to integrate Hemp CBD Into Your Routine

There are a lot of potential benefits of adding hemp CBD to your daily routine.  CBD can be consumed at any point during the day and still be effective.  There is no high or drowsiness associated with pure hemp extract, which means that its ability to promote recovery and quell anxiety can be enjoyed any time of day with no negative or counterproductive side effects.  We have ways to integrate hemp into any given stage in our daily routine, so you’re sure to find one that works for you. 

1.  Consuming iKOR CBD Sublingually (under the tongue)

For maximum benefit, we recommend consuming CBD in the morning and at night.  We suggest leaving it out near your toothbrush.  This way you’re visually reminded to take it instead of forgetting to take it if the bottle is hidden away in the cabinet along with all those vitamins you forget to take.  Simply place 5 pumps (18mg) of extract under your tongue for the effects to start taking hold.  A dose of highly bioavailable (rapidly absorbing) organic hemp oil can help protect your body against the stresses of training and the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) we’re used to as athletes. 

2.  Add it to Your Coffee or Tea

Hemp extract is nearly flavorless, and whatever mild flavor the oil contains quickly disappears in a cup of coffee.  Combined with a hint of cream (or even butter if you’re into the Bulletproof Coffee thing!),  the creaminess and additional fats amplify the bioavailability and provide you with a nice zen feeling to go along with the glorious benefits of caffeine.

3.  CBD Infused Pre-workout Shake

You can easily add CBD to your favorite pre-workout shake/smoothie.  Simply add 1 dose (5 pumps of iKOR) to your favorite combination of ingredients.  Here is a quick and delicious recipe for inspiration. 

Berries and Greens CBD Shake

1 Handful of baby spinach

½ Heart of romaine lettuce (cut)

1 (frozen) Banana

1 Tablespoon of almond butter

½ Teaspoon of cinnamon

½ Cup of water

1 dose (5 pumps) of iKOR

Ice Cubes (as desired)

Mix ingredients in your blender until smooth or to your desired texture.  This simple recipe is a great boost before a tough workout

4.  iKOR CBD + Hemp Protein for Post-Workout Recovery

As athletes, we know that the 30-60 minutes following a hard effort are critical to refueling and recovering.  What you put into your body during this time has a huge impact on your recovery and gains.  Of course, you want to make the right choices to fuel your body.  Taking a serving of iKOR CBD after your workout can be a powerful way to boost anti-inflammatory reactions. 

Another way to help you rebuild is by enjoying a CBD and Hemp Protein Smoothie.  Here is a simple and quick recipe for you to use at home:

CBD Hemp Protein Shake

1 frozen Banana

1 Cup frozen mixed berries

½ Cup Oats

1 Cup Yogurt (or nondairy alternative)

1 Cup of almond milk

1 Cup Hemp Protein Powder

1-2 Doses (5-10mg) of iKOR CBD

Mix ingredients and blend until your desired texture is achieved.  Serve in a glass or drink right from the blender with a straw.  Your call.
