3 CBD Recipes to Soothe & Support You This Fall

Let the Season In

The mornings are cooler now. Maybe socks are back in rotation, or you've caught yourself reaching for that sweater you tucked away months ago. There's something about fall that makes us crave warmth from the inside out — not just temperature, but the kind of comfort that settles into your bones.

I've been experimenting with ways to bring that feeling into my daily routine, and these three drinks have become my autumn anchors. Each one pairs seasonal ingredients with a dropper of Serenity CBD, creating little rituals that help me transition into the slower rhythm of fall. 

The healthy fats in our tinctures don't just support absorption — they make every sip feel like a gentle hug for your nervous system.

CBD-Infused Golden Honey Latte 

A grounding drink for slow mornings or quiet evenings

This became my "reset" drink after discovering how beautifully turmeric and CBD work together. The earthiness of golden milk meets the calm clarity of hemp extract, creating something that tastes like liquid meditation.

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1 cup oat milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp raw honey (or maple syrup)
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 dropper Serenity CBD Hemp Extract

Instructions

  1. Warm oat milk in a small saucepan over low–medium heat
  2. Whisk in turmeric, ginger, honey, and black pepper until smooth (don't boil)
  3. Pour into your favorite mug, add CBD, and stir gently
  4. Optional: garnish with a cinnamon stick, star anise or light dusting of turmeric

Why it works: The spices calm inflammation while the black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Combined with CBD's natural fats, it's like aromatherapy in a cup.

Pumpkin Spice CBD Hot Cocoa

The fall favorite with a functional twist

I'll admit it — I was skeptical about adding pumpkin to hot chocolate until I tried this combination. The earthy sweetness of pumpkin actually enhances the richness of cacao, while coconut milk creates the perfect creamy base for CBD absorption.

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 Tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin purée
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 dropper of Serenity CBD per serving

Instructions

  1. Whisk together coconut milk, cacao, pumpkin, spices, syrup, and salt in a saucepan
  2. Warm over medium heat, stirring continuously, until smooth and gently steaming
  3. Divide between mugs, add CBD to each, and stir
  4. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or dollop of coconut cream

Why it works: Coconut's natural fats optimize CBD absorption, while cacao provides mood-lifting magnesium. The pumpkin adds fiber and that cozy fall flavor we all crave.

CBD Immune-Boosting Citrus Smoothie

Your vitamin-packed calm companion

When I need brightness on a gray fall morning, this smoothie delivers just what I need. It's a great way to be ready for any seasonal sniffles while still honoring the need for something comforting and nourishing.

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut water)
  • ½ cup frozen mango chunks
  • ½ cup frozen pineapple
  • ½ fresh orange, peeled
  • ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 Tbsp chia or ground flax seeds
  • ½–1 dropper Serenity CBD Hemp Extract
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla plant protein

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy (about 60 seconds)
  3. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately

Why it works: The vitamin C from citrus supports immune function, while ginger and turmeric fight inflammation. Chia seeds add omega-3s and fiber, and CBD brings everything together with calm, focused energy.

A Ritual in Every Sip

These aren't just recipes — they're small acts of self-care that help me meet each day with a little more intention. Whether it's the meditative process of whisking golden milk or the bright energy of that morning smoothie, each drink offers a moment to pause and nourish yourself from the inside out.

The beauty of cooking with CBD tinctures is how easily they blend into whatever your body is craving. Start with these three, then experiment. Maybe it's a CBD-infused apple cider on Sunday afternoons, or a calming chamomile latte before bed.
