13 Healthy Cannabis Superfoods

Cannabis is a healing herb that also happens to confer feelings of gratitude, contentment, euphoria and self-awareness. When adding cannabis to a daily routine or designing a therapeutic treatment program, it’s important to utilize these soulful benefits to balance both body and mind, providing an opportunity to relax, meditate and reflect on life. Create a synergistic, healthy lifestyle that will allow you to thrive by using cannabis as a tool for self-improvement, whether as a post-workout recovery snack or as a way to more deeply appreciate a walk in the woods.

There’s no reason to rely on sugary dessert edibles that are laden with extra calories when you can pair your THC dose with other nutritious ingredients that amplify the desired effects while supporting your overall vitality. After all, why would you want to pair a life-affirming herb like cannabis with a dangerous, addictive drug called refined sugar anyway?!

Those with dietary restrictions seeking vegan, gluten-free or sugar-free edibles can find more options available on dispensary shelves than ever before, including these awesome offerings from progressive, wellness-focused edibles companies.

Get healthy and high with these 13 cannabis-infused superfoods that fit into an active, vibrant lifestyle!

Moonman’s Mistress

“We really believe that you can heal your body with food,” Moonman Mistress co-founder Liz Rudner says, “so we use 100 percent organic ingredients and outdoor organic cannabis.”

After discovering medical marijuana helped her cope with Celiac and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Rudner teamed up with fitness professional Jamel Ramiro to create a line of five different cookies, designed to be tasty and properly dosed with 25 milligrams of THC—as well as Paleo, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, dairy-free and low on the glycemic index.

Using high-quality ingredients—including almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, hemp seeds and pecans—to craft their confections allows those with dietary restrictions to enjoy comforting favorite flavors like Chocolate Chip Crater Cookies, Cosmic Cacao Peppermint Cookies or Lunar Lemon Maca Shortbread Cookies, while still nourishing the body.

Julie’s Natural Edibles

Colorado cannabis pioneer Julie Dooley created a company specifically focused on gluten-free edibles because she suffers from Celiac disease.

“News flash—sugar isn’t good for you. We shouldn’t eat it,” Dooley said. “When you’re eating cannabis as medicine, why would I pair it with something that’s potentially very bad for you?”

Using natural sugars instead, her healthy products are made with simple ingredients including maple syrup, almonds and sunflower seeds that pair well with cannabis, making it just one more perfect, natural, organic ingredient.
