I Made a Smoothie With This CBD Protein Powder and Had the Chillest Morning Ever

I'm not a fan of mornings whatsoever [1], so I'm always game for anything that can help make the start of my day less painful. Though I typically save my cannabis use for evenings and weekends, I was open to the idea of kicking off the workweek with some CBD since it's nonpsychoactive [2]. When I recently had the opportunity to try out WillPower Products [3]'s new CBD protein powders, I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxed I felt before my day even fully started.

ReGenPCR, the first industrial hemp dietary supplement protein powder, contains 20 grams of grass-fed whey, 20 milligrams of CBD, and six grams of BCAAs. I tried both of its vanilla and cinnamon-cocoa flavours on two separate occasions, and I appreciated how neither tasted of weed. I honestly found the vanilla packet way too sweet to enjoy (and I have a sweet tooth) after blending it into my smoothie made of berries, banana, and milk. But about 15 minutes and halfway into my smoothie later, I was already beginning to feel the CBD's calming effects. For anyone unfamiliar with the benefits of the natural and legal cannabinoid, it's especially great for combating symptoms of anxiety [4].

As someone who doesn't have anxiety and someone who's a seasoned stoner, I was sceptical of whether this product would do anything for me. But I loved how my body felt less tense and how at ease I felt overall as I made my way to the office. The cinnamon-cocoa flavour was also significantly better tasting and produced the same calming experience as the vanilla. On both mornings when I arrived at work, I noticed an improvement in my mental clarity — a side effect I was not expecting at all. However, I wish the effects were a bit longer lasting, as the CBD wore off by 11 a.m.

Overall, I really enjoyed how the ReGenPCR powders helped me start off my day on the right foot. And although I'll be sticking to the chocolate one, I think this is a great way you can incorporate cannabis into your wellness routine [5]. WillProducts is currently running a crowdfunding campaign [6] for its ReGen protein powders where you can purchase a jug for $65.
