This weed banana smoothie recipe from Fordee at Herbistry420 is one of the easiest cannabis edibles you can make for breakfast. A ripe banana, oat milk, infused honey, cocoa powder, and a handful of chocolate chips go into the blender — and you get a cannabis banana chocolate chip smoothie with approximately 30 mg of THC. It takes about five minutes to make and tastes like a chocolate milkshake.
Ingredients for This Weed Banana Smoothie Recipe
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen — see notes below)
- ¾ to 1 cup oat milk (or regular milk)
- ½ tablespoon cannabis infused honey (approximately 28–32 mg THC — adjust to your dose)
- 1–2 tablespoons cocoa powder (Hershey’s or any unsweetened cocoa)
- 3 ice cubes (fewer for a thinner drink, more for a frostier result)
- Small handful of chocolate chips (optional — plus a few extra for garnish)
Frozen vs Fresh Banana — What Is the Difference?
Fordee uses a fresh banana in the video, but he notes that you can freeze the banana beforehand. A frozen banana makes the weed banana smoothie recipe thicker and more milkshake-like — closer to a frozen blended drink. A fresh banana makes it lighter and more liquidy. Both work well. If you want a frostier cannabis banana chocolate chip smoothie without adding lots of ice, freeze the banana overnight and peel it before blending.
How to Make This Weed Banana Smoothie Recipe in 5 Steps
Step 1: Add Banana and Oat Milk
Break your banana into chunks and drop them into the blender. Pour in ¾ to 1 cup of oat milk. Fordee uses oat milk because he does not drink regular dairy milk often, but any milk works. If you want to make a cannabis infused oat milk smoothie that is infused through the milk instead of the honey, you would need to infuse the milk separately — oat milk does not bind THC as well as whole milk does because of its lower fat content. Using infused honey or infused coconut oil is the more reliable method for this recipe.
Step 2: Add Infused Honey
Spoon in approximately ½ tablespoon of cannabis infused honey. This infused honey smoothie gets most of its THC from the honey — Fordee estimates the honey dose in this batch is approximately 28–32 mg THC total, based on his infusion ratio. Scrape every bit out of the spoon with a spatula so you do not waste any. If you want a milder dose, start with ¼ tablespoon and increase once you know how your batch affects you.
Step 3: Add Cocoa Powder and Ice
Add 1–2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. One tablespoon gives a mild chocolate flavour; two tablespoons makes this weed smoothie recipe with cocoa noticeably chocolatey. More than two tablespoons can make it bitter. Add 3 ice cubes — this keeps the drink cold and slightly frosty without making it too thick. Add fewer cubes if you prefer a thinner smoothie, or more if you want an almost frozen texture.
Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips and Blend
Toss in a small handful of chocolate chips if you want them — these are optional but they melt into the blend and add extra chocolate richness. Put the lid on the blender securely. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth. Fordee stops his blender a few seconds early — the smoothie blends fast and you do not need to over-process it.
Step 5: Pour and Garnish
Pour your cannabis banana chocolate chip smoothie into a glass. Drop a few extra chocolate chips on top as a garnish — they will sink in, but it is a nice touch. The finished weed banana smoothie recipe yields one large serving of approximately 30 mg THC, depending on the potency of your infused honey. Drink it slowly and wait at least 90 minutes before deciding whether to take more.
Dosage Notes
Fordee used infused honey made at roughly 4 mg THC per millilitre. Half a tablespoon of honey is approximately 7–8 ml, which works out to about 28–32 mg THC in the entire smoothie. This is a moderate-to-strong dose for most people. If you are new to edibles or have a low tolerance, start with ¼ tablespoon of infused honey (approximately 7–8 mg THC) and see how you feel before increasing.
Tip: Edibles take 45–90 minutes to kick in depending on your metabolism and whether you have eaten recently. Do not drink a second smoothie because the first one has not hit yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use cannabutter instead of infused honey?
Yes. A small amount of melted cannabutter or infused coconut oil works as a substitute for the infused honey in this weed banana smoothie recipe. Use ½ to 1 teaspoon and blend it in with everything else. The flavour will be slightly different — infused honey adds sweetness, while cannabutter is more neutral. You may want to add a drizzle of regular honey or maple syrup to compensate for the lost sweetness.
Can I add protein powder to this weed smoothie recipe with cocoa?
Absolutely. Fordee mentions this in the video — a scoop of protein powder makes this weed smoothie recipe with cocoa into a pre-workout or post-workout drink. Chocolate or vanilla protein powder both work well with the banana and cocoa base. Add it in Step 3 along with the cocoa powder.
Can I make a cannabis infused oat milk smoothie without honey?
Yes, but you need another infused fat. The easiest swap is infused MCT oil — use 1 teaspoon and blend it in. MCT oil is flavorless and mixes well into smoothies. Alternatively, infuse whole milk (not oat milk) with cannabis directly for a cannabis infused oat milk smoothie alternative. Whole dairy milk has enough fat to bind THC; oat milk does not.
