New Immune Boosting Recipe with CBD!!!

Jicama Citrus Berry Salad with Lemon Balm Poppy Seed Dressing
½ cup orange juice
20 lemon balm leaves, divided
¼ cup raw honey
2 tsp poppy seeds
1 lb. fresh strawberries, cleaned and cubed
8 oz. fresh blueberries, washed
2 mandarin oranges, peeled, segmented and cleaned of any loose membrane strings
2 droppers of Liv Labs HydroPRO 750mg H**p Oil

In a small saucepan, add 10 lemon balm leaves and heat over low. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the leaves to release their essential oil and flavor. Remove the wilted leaves and add the honey and poppy seeds. Continue to simmer for several minutes longer to combine the flavors and reduce slightly.
Transfer the orange juice/honey mixture to a small bowl. Add in the CBD oil and stir to combine. Refrigerate to chill before pour over the fruit.
Place all of the prepared fruit into a large bowl. Layer the remaining 10 lemon balm leaves in a stack then roll them up and cut into small ribbons. Sprinkle over the fruit. Stir the dressing before pouring over the fruit and toss all together.
Additional small sprigs of lemon balm are optional as a final garnish. Serve immediately.
The fruit and the dressing can be made ahead of time and kept separate until ready to serve. Add the ribbons of lemon balm before serving also to prevent browning.
Note: other herbs such as mint and basil can be substituted for the lemon balm. A third mandarin orange may be added if they are very small.

So when is the best time to add CBD oil to your recipe? If it is a baked good, it is best to add it to ingredients that are moist or liquidy.

In this particular cookie recipe from Simply Jillicious that is vegan, paleo and gluten free has smashed bananas.

I would add the CBD to the smashed bananas before adding them to the dry ingredients. (I might even add the maple syrup to the bananas to help mix in the CBD oil) 🍌🍌🍌

This allows for better distribution of the oil throughout the cookies.

Strawberry Mint Sweet Thai Chili Scallop Bundles
Serves 2

6 large scallops

1 in fresh ginger, grated

1 large garlic clove, grated

2 large sprigs fresh mint plus 1 tbs chopped mint

4 large strawberries, chopped

1 green onion, chopped

Cracked black pepper

¼ cup Healthy Sweet Thai Chili Sauce with CBD, recipe below

Butter lettuce leaves

Edamame in the shell

Cooked rice

In a saucepan, add enough water to cover the scallops. Add in the grated ginger, garlic and sprigs of mint. Heat the water to a low simmer then add the scallops. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until poached and tender. Remove from the broth but do not discard the water.

Cut the scallops into large chunks and add to the chopped strawberries, green onion, 1 tbs chopped mint and the Healthy Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. Toss and set aside.

Reheat the poaching liquid and add in the edamame shells and heat through. Drain and add a sprinkle of salt if desired.

Scoop the strawberry scallop mixture into the lettuce leaves. Serve with cooked rice and hot edamame shells.



Healthy Sweet Thai Chili Sauce

¼ cup rice vinegar (not the seasoned kind)

3 tbs. raw honey (local to your area if possible)

¼ tsp paprika

¼ tsp garlic powder

3 packets Stevia sweetener (equivalent to 2 tbs. sugar)

1 tbs. chili garlic sauce (recipe based on product with 80mg sodium/tsp)

½ cup water plus 1 ½ tbs. water (divided)

Optional: 1 dropper HydroPRO H**p CBD Oil or more as desired

1 tbs. tapioca starch (cornstarch can be used)



In a saucepan over medium high heat, add in all of the ingredients except the 1 ½ tbs. water and tapioca starch. Those two ingredients can be blended together to make a paste and set aside.

Bring the ingredients in the saucepan to a simmer and allow to cook for several minutes to combine the flavors. Then add in the tapioca/water paste to the sauce and stir. Continue to simmer for only a few minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and serve or refrigerate.

The sauce can be served hot, cold or room temperature. Warming it will thin it out and be more dippable. Water can also be added to the sauce too thin to your liking.

*If sodium is not a concern and you would like more heat in the sauce, add more chili garlic sauce a teaspoon at a time until you reach the heat level you like. Remember that the sauce may develop more heat as it sits.

*Tapioca starch is allowed on a Paleo and Whole 30 Diet but it is not Keto friendly. It is gluten free but has carbohydrates just as cornstarch does. If choosing to use cornstarch, try to purchase non-GMO brands for a cleaner product.

Yields about 1 cup

Nutritional information based on 1 cup yield and 1 dropper of HydroPro H**p CBD Oil.

1 cup of sauce equals 57.75 carbohydrates or 3.61 carbs/tablespoon

Here is a great alternative to one of my all time favorites, Coconut Shrimp with Marmalade Dip
🍤🌴🥥🍊
Coconut Orange Marmalade Mustard Dip with CBD

1 cup orange juice, all natural with no sugar added

½ cup orange marmalade spread, (I used Smucker’s Natural brand)

4 tsp. stone ground mustard

2 tsp horseradish sauce (I used Walmart Great Value brand)

4 pkg. Stevia (equivalent to 8 tsp. sugar)

Optional:1-2 droppers of HydroPRO H**p CBD Oil

2 tbs. water

2 tsp. tapioca starch

¼ cup toasted finely shredded unsweetened coconut, see note below
In a small bowl, mix together the water and tapioca starch and set aside.

In a saucepan, add the orange juice, orange marmalade, stone ground mustard, horseradish sauce and Stevia.

Bring to a simmer and cook to combine the ingredients. Slowly whisk in the tapioca starch slurry. Stir to combine and continue to simmer for a few more minutes so the sauce can thicken.

Remove from the heat and stir in the toasted coconut and CBD. Pour into a container, cover and refrigerate to continue to thicken the sauce.

Note: If you have bought an untoasted unsweetened shredded coconut, simply toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring continuously until the coconut turns golden brown. Be careful to watch the coconut as it can begin to brown quickly. Remove from the heat and add to the recipe as instructed.

Great to serve with grilled shrimp, fish or chicken.

Makes approx. 2 cups Nutritional information based on 32 tablespoons; 19 calories/tbs., 3.8 carbs/tbs., 3mg sodium/tbs. *You can use xantham gum to thicken the sauce. It will lower the carbs but it increases the sodium count.

With CBD becoming more available, it's important to understand what you are looking for in a product. THEY ARE NOT ALL EQUAL.

In 2019 I used over 5 different brands ranging from $99.00/bottle to $240.00/bottle. Their purity and potency all ranged with the price.

Early this year, a manufacturer of CBD here in Oregon had to recall it's products from the shelves. It was found to not have had a second testing done. Their product was found to contain high levels of pesticides. The product I use now is guaranteed with Third Party testing.

Not just a gelatin but a dessert fit for healthy eating!!!
🍓🍓🍓

Homemade Strawberry Mint Gelatin Dessert with CBD

1 1/2 cup water

4 full sprigs fresh mint leaves, crushed (1 tsp of dried mint leaves can be used)

1 lb frozen whole strawberries, thawed if possible

¼ cup honey

10 packages Stevia (each package equal to 2 tsp of sugar)

2 tbs. fresh lemon juice

3 env. (.05 oz. each) unflavored gelatin such as Knox Gelatine

2 HydroPRO H**p CBD Oil, adding 2 droppers is approx. 33.4 mg. of CBD or 8.35mg/serving
Optional toppings:

Real Whipped Topping or your favorite topping

Freeze-dried strawberries, crumbled into pieces

Mint leaves

Instructions: In a medium sized saucepan, add in 1/2 cup of water and the 4 full mint sprigs or dried mint leaves. Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook for several minutes to infuse the water with the mint flavor. Pick out the mint or strain to make a clear liquid.

Add the strawberries, honey, Stevia packets and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for several minutes to soften the fruit and melt the honey and sweetener. Turn off heat and set aside.

In a shallow bowl, add 1 cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow to set for 1 minute. Add to the hot strawberry mixture. Continue to stir to completely dissolve the gelatin. ***Optional step is to add in the desired amount of HydroPRO H**p CBD Oil to the strawberry mixture before blending.

Carefully transfer to a high speed blender and process until smooth. You can strain the strawberry mixture again put I prefer leaving the whole fruit in the dessert.

Pour into 4 dessert glasses and chill to set. Garnish with real whipped topping, a piece of freeze dried strawberry and a mint sprig.

Note: Non-fat yogurt would be a great substitute for whipped topping.

Crisp and clean, this salad offers crunch with sweet and savory flavors. Add the CBD to the dressing for even distribution.

1 bulb of fennel, shaved thin (fennel fronds saved for garnish)

3 small stocks of celery, shaved thin on an angle for more surface

Place the sliced oranges around the bottom of the salad or over the top. Serve with the Cara Cara Salad Dressing, recipe below.
