Getting Summer Started with CBD Paletas

If you’re looking for a new way to chill out this Summer, you MUST try the recipe for these all-natural @drinkmonk CBD paletas.

Drink Monk has recently launched a CBD-infused elixir line that uses only the best sustainably-sourced herbs, terpenes and freshly pressed juices. The juices are made with organic ingredients and each contain 10 mgs of CBD to help alleviate pain, inflammation and anxiety!

These CBD botanicals are great on their own but are INCREDIBLE when frozen into popsicles. Since they don’t create psychoactive effects, they are a great way to relax after work, with friends by the pool or after an outdoor workout!

Here are two options for these CBD Paletas using the Monk’s line but you can try using CBD powder or other CBD brands to make your own creation.


Ginger Maple Blueberry Paletas

The steps are short and sweet!

  • 1 Drink Monk’s CBD-infused Ginger Maple Shrub

    • One botanical will make 1 paleta so if you want more, get more!

  • Blueberries

  • Brown Sugar (or preferred sweetener)

  • Popsicle Mold (I used this one from Amazon)

Pour your Monk’s CBD-Rich Ginger Maple Shrub botanical into a popsicle mold, add a pinch of brown sugar and 6-8 blueberries, freeze overnight and voilà: your new favorite. 💃🏽


Rosemary Orange Pineapple Paletas

This should look familiar

  • 1 Drink Monk’s CBD-infused Rosemary Orange Peel

    • One botanical will make 1 paleta so if you want more, get more!

  • Frozen Pineapple

  • Brown Sugar (or preferred sweetener)

  • Popsicle Mold (I used this one from Amazon)

Pour your Monk’s CBD-Rich Rosemary Orange Peel botanical into a popsicle mold, add a pinch of brown sugar, add a few pieces of frozen pineapple, and freeze overnight.


On Dosing

The dosage of your popsicles will depend on the size of your mold but each Monk’s CBD bottle is 10 mgs; an acceptable daily starter dose.  My popsicle mold held about ¾ of the bottle so I’d estimate that they were 7.5 mgs of CBD.

Daily starter doses range from 5 mgs to 25 mgs but if you’re just getting started with CBD, eat half of your paleta and wait 30 minutes to see how you feel. Dose up from there! 🤗

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, try using your paleta as an ice cube for your favorite bubbles (prosecco anyone??). This combo made us swoon and is now a FOREVER summer staple.

You’re welcome in advance,
