UnCanny Water Soluble CBD

I didn’t use CBD oil in this recipe, which is probably most of the CBD products you see on the market.  Instead I used UnCanny’s Water Soluble CBD powder.

Why water soluble?  UnCanny has transformed their cbd into a powder that is water soluble because of the bioavailability of this type of product.  Oils may only be about 20% absorbed within the gastrointestinal tract whereas this powder has closer to a 90-100% absorption rate.  This means more bang for you buck!  Both figuratively and literally.

UnCanny’s cbd is also full spectrum.  What does this mean? It retains a lot of great elements that are naturally present in hemp extracts, including terpenes, flavonoids, and polyphenols.  When these compounds work together they have a stronger impact than when stand-alone.  For reference when shopping, the opposite of a full spectrum cbd is an isolate.

UnCanny also gets their products tested by third parties.  This type of independent verification is always important when looking for a company you want to trust.

Special-er Brownies

These brownies are special beyond their CBD.  Because they are good for you!  First of all, they are vegan.  Plus the batter is made with zucchini and the frosting is made with sweet potato. There is no oil or butter in this recipe, and it is also refined sugar free.  But trust me, when you taste them, you will never believe any of that!

The zucchini makes the brownie super moist, and the sweet potato makes the frosting extra creamy.  We naturally sweeten this recipe with apple sauce, and use better sweetener options like agave (which you can always sub for maple syrup or a sweetener you prefer!).  Taste is not compromised – and don’t take my word for it, make them and see for yourself!  Plus the recipe is super easy to follow.  Enjoy!
