The rise of the CBD sweet treat

By LLM Reporters   |  

CBD has become a buzz phrase in recent years, touted as a natural remedy for everything from chronic pain and inflammation to anxiety – and is now a central part of many people’s daily routine. A few drops of CBD oil beneath the tongue have been shown to improve sleep in insomniacs and those who don’t feel they get a restful eight hours, and it’s also been found to have a calming influence for many in times of great stress.

With all of this in mind, it’s little wonder that in 2020, CBD products are flying off the shelves in all their various forms – and while oils and tinctures may be the most traditional and obvious choice, the variety available today means that you can find this much-loved compound in everything from soaps and shampoos to teas and chocolate bars.

The latter, in particular, has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past twelve months, and with this, has come huge growth in terms of what is available. If you don’t like the taste of traditional CBD oils, then why not have it in a gummy sweet or a doughnut instead? You’ll never even know it’s there.

Adding CBD to your diet could bestow a plethora of benefits upon your life, and these luxury food items are the tastiest ways to get your fix.

Do you have a bit of a sweet tooth? Then CBD gummies could be right up your street – especially if the mere mention of Gummi Bears evokes that warming childhood nostalgia that you just can’t shake

CBD gummies

Do you have a bit of a sweet tooth? Then CBD gummies could be right up your street – especially if the mere mention of Gummi Bears evokes that warming childhood nostalgia that you just can’t shake.

ZenBears CBD gummies are sugar-free-THC free and vegan friendly, and are perfect for chewing whilst on the go. Delivering 5g of CBD per individual bear, they pack a punch – and, as they’re made with all natural ingredients, they are pretty much guilt free, too. Try CBD Shopy for some of the best CBD gummies in the UK.

CBD chocolate

Continuing along with the sweet-tooth theme, chocolate lover will be delighted to know that there are a plethora of CBD chocolates available on the market today and the good news is, they taste just as deliciously decadent as normal chocolate does. Love Hemp’s Chocolate Bites and CBD Infused Dark Chocolate Balls are some of our favourites.

CBD peanut butter

If you’re a peanut butter fan, then you’re in for a treat – because CBD just went PB. Now available in a range of nut butters and flavours, this snack is set for meteoric success in 2020, and can be slathered over toast or eaten by the spoonful – it’s entirely your call.

Our favourites? Naturacan’s CBD Milk Chocolate with Cacao Nibs Nut Butter is a strong contender, and is also available in Honey-Sea Salt, Triple Nut and Crunchy. All of them are infused with high-quality CBD oil and taste incredible – we challenge you to choose just one.

CBD honey

CBD honeys are another great way to get your daily dose – and possibly one of the most versatile, too. Honey can be added to anything from porridge to smoothies and can also be used in baking – CBD brownies, anyone?

Diamond CBD Stick is available in a range of flavours, including banana and even blue raspberry – and is comprised of 100% natural CBD and all-natural honey, too. CBD Eaze Honey Sticks also get our vote. They are practical, coming in pre-portioned tubes, and pack a potent punch – perfect for drizzling into a hot cup of herbal tea or mixing into natural yoghurt to enjoy with your morning bowl of fruit.

For ease of use, you could also take a quick spoonful before you head out each morning – the possibilities are endless.

Before stocking up on your fix and going ful-throttle with a CBD binge, be sure to consult your GP – as despite being a natural compound, it can potentially interact with other medications. As ever, take care to read the instructions too, to make sure you’re getting the dosage amount right. Do all of that, and you could soon be reaping a raft of health benefits – and all from munching on your favourite snack.
