How to make cannabis milkshakes

Cannabis-infused milkshakes are a refreshing and nutritious way to maximize your cannabis harvest, allowing you to get the most out of it. Today, we'll explain how to prepare this simple recipe, enriched with cannabinoids and terpenes, quickly and easily, to enhance the already pleasant taste of a cold fruit smoothie.

For this, we'll basically need milk and our favorite fruits, although we can also flavor our smoothie with a variety of vegetables or seeds like hemp, which, as we explained in another article, are a true nutritional gem. You'll see how easy it is to prepare them, enriched with your favorite cannabis strains!

Preparing a cannabis smoothie

Preparing a cannabis smoothie is really simple: all you need is a few marigolds or buds to infuse with the milk, allowing the cannabinoids and terpenes to dissolve. Of course, the amount can vary depending on the desired effect, although we can start with an infusion of 5 grams of marigolds or about 40-50 grams of marigolds per liter of milk to test the results. Depending on the effect achieved, we then know whether we should infuse more or less next time, also depending on our tolerance.

To maximize the absorption of cannabinoids from the fats present in milk, it's always best to use whole milk, which has a higher fat content than skim milk. Additionally, we can add a tablespoon of fresh cream per liter of milk to achieve better absorption and also give our shake a creamier touch.

How to make a cannabis infusion

Infusions are a simple and effective way to consume cannabis for recreational or therapeutic use. The active ingredients of this plant are not soluble in water, so it is necessary to use a liquid containing fat, such as whole milk, to extract the cannabinoids more easily. In this article, we present a homemade recipe for making a cannabis infusion with whole milk.

As you can see in the link above, to prepare the infused milk, simply heat it and add the plant material as soon as it reaches a temperature close to boiling, although we must keep in mind that it should never come to a boil. After adding the buds or manicure, stir occasionally for an hour, maintaining a low heat, without letting it boil.

Once this time has passed, we will filter the milk with a fine sieve or kitchen cheesecloth, discard the plant matter, and let the milk cool...then it will be ready to make the milkshake!

Making a Vegan Cannabis Smoothie

This interesting variation on the original recipe will allow those who don't want to consume animal products to enjoy delicious smoothies made with other types of foods, such as coconut milk, which is rich and creamy, and well known as a great base for infusing cannabis and taking advantage of the most cannabinoids and terpenes. The smoothie will be slightly smoother and creamier, with the addition of tasty coconut.

Cannabis Smoothie Recipes

Thanks to the popularity of milkshakes, there are countless variations to suit the different tastes and cultures where they're prepared. We've suggested a few examples, which you can, of course, vary as you wish. Let your imagination run wild, and you'll see how easy it is to come up with delicious combinations!

Strawberry and cannabis smoothie

• 5 ripe strawberries
• 100ml of cannabis-infused milk
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla ice cream

Simply put all the ingredients in a container (we recommend adding cold milk or a little ice) and blend for 30-60 seconds. That's it! We repeat the same process for the following recipes:

Banana and cannabis smoothie

• 1 banana
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla ice cream
• 100ml of cannabis-infused milk

Chocolate and cannabis shake

• 3 teaspoons of powdered chocolate
• 1 tablespoon of chocolate ice cream
• 100ml of cannabis-infused milk

Among the many variations we can make, the use of terpenes stands out. A small amount will give our smoothie an unparalleled flavor. Of course, you can prepare the milk using resin extraction, just keep in mind that the dosage will need to be much lower (you can start with 10% of the recommended amount of plant matter).

We wish you a good meal!
