In honor of 4/20, one of our favorite vegan bakeries, Sweets by CHLOE, is launching a limited-edition vegan chocolate brownie formulated with CBD oil. And—lucky us!—they shared the recipe with Health.
CBD oil, which is legal in many states and made after the compound cannabidiol is extracted from cannabis, may help to relieve chronic pain and anxiety, although more research is needed on its uses. Unlike tetra-hydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana, CBD oil won’t get you high, but it will help you feel relaxed and calm—and in this case, happy that you just had a delicious vegan brownie.
The recipe below is made with The Daily Hit from CAP Beauty (the wellness brand partnered with Sweets by CHLOE to create the chocolaty treat), but you can sub in any other CBD oil as well. Live in New York City? Visit Sweets by CHLOE’s Bleecker Street location to buy the brownies between April 20 and April 22.
