When I want something light and refreshing—yet a little indulgent—I often swap out breakfast or lunch for a frosty smoothie. And yes, sometimes I infuse it. Why not start the day with flavor and function?

Years ago, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Since that time, cannabis has played a central role in managing my symptoms. I’ve been seizure-free for over 15 years, and I credit much of that to a thoughtful, consistent regimen—especially strains rich in myrcene.

One favorite is Roasted Marshmallow by Prūf Cultivar. Its smooth, rich terpene profile blends beautifully with ripe mangoes, which also happen to contain myrcene. When consumed before cannabis, mango is said to amplify the plant’s effects, helping THC absorb more efficiently into the body. The result? A deeper, more mellow experience. And really—who doesn’t want that?

This smoothie is creamy, dreamy, and just the right kind of mellow. Whether you’re easing into your day or simply need a mid-afternoon lift, this recipe checks all the boxes. Sip slowly and enjoy the sunshine.
