Editorial Reviews

"Empowers readers to take charge of their CBD consumption in a delightful and health-conscious manner."

—Binge

“One of common perceptions about wellness—whether it be routines, products, food, or drink—is that it is complicated, and that our taste buds need to take a back seat. With an easygoing tone and creative recipes for all moods and seasons, Carlene Thomas’s CBD Drinks for Health gives us wellness that tastes good. Like many people, I am someone who was daunted by all the information on CBD. Carlene made the topic approachable from the beginning, a testament to how extensively she understands the topic. The same carries through in the recipes—they are simple, thoughtfully designed, and filled with practical tips, with the occasional playful bits of humor. Whether you love experimenting in the kitchen or you’re just looking for easy swaps for your morning coffee or smoothie, you will find so many nuggets in this book. And, like me, you might also find yourself inspired and curious to try much more.”

—Jasmina Aganovic, president of Mother Dirt

“Have you wondered what CBD is? And if and how to incorporate it into your life? There’s no other source I’d turn to but Carlene Thomas’s new book, as she not only explains the ins and outs of CBD, but also provides the ideal healthy recipes that are the perfect complement to CBD.”

—Ariel Pasternak, founder and CEO of Pineapple Collaborative

“CBD has been an important part of my personal wellness tool kit for years, but this book made me think about it in a new way. Carlene’s gorgeous images and approachable recipes are fun, creative, and, most importantly, delicious. Hopefully they will inspire more people than ever to fall in love with this special plant!”

—Tara Foley, founder and CEO of Follain

“CBD seems to be everywhere these days, and for good reason—it’s been shown to have innumerable positive health impacts, from quelling inflammation to calming anxiety. In this gorgeous book, Carlene Thomas creates healing but—perhaps more importantly—delicious, sophisticated recipes for enjoying CBD tonics at all times of the day, from breakfast (the Pistachio Ice Cream Smoothie is a must-try) to after dinner (the Garden Margarita will change your life). A must-have for health and food aficionados alike.”

—Liz Moody, author of Healthier Together and host of the Healthier Together podcast

"A great addition to your cookbook shelf."
