CBD and fitness go hand in hand.
You see, if you prioritise your health, then keeping fit will be an important part of your lifestyle. And if you take your fitness seriously, then you should be just as stringent about your rest and recovery. And that’s where CBD comes in.
CBD is ideal for aiding your body in recovery in between bouts of exercise thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, CBD is starting to become very popular among athletes of all levels as a way to reduce aches and pains, swelling and general inflammation caused by partaking in competitive sport and intense training.
So, with that in mind, what are the best CBD products for all the fitness enthusiasts out there?
1. CBD Protein Ball from Naturecan
Looking for a high-protein, CBD-infused post workout snack? Look no further than these scrumptious CBD protein balls from Naturecan. Made with all natural ingredients – including dates, cashew nuts, hemp protein and broad-spectrum CBD oil – these balls provide the perfect treat for stimulating recovery after exercise.
Naturecan has a diverse range of healthy CBD-infused snacks. In fact, it was founded by the former CEO of Myprotein, Andy Duckworth, which has allowed the company to benefit from his connections in the sports nutrition industry. Other standout products from Naturecan include CBD whey protein, a range of CBD nut butters, and a superb range of CBD balms.
2. Pothead CBD Coffee
For me, the best pre workout is always going to be a big cup of black coffee. And there aren’t many out there as tasty as this CBD-infused Girl Scout Coffee from Pothead Coffee.
Not only does it taste great – with hints of dark chocolate and a subtly sweet cookies – thanks to its CBD content it doesn’t give you the jitters.
3. Provocan CBD Massage Oil
What better after a tough session in the gym than a deep tissue massage? And for a way to radically enhance the rejuvenating effects of massage, try adding some CBD.
Thanks to its potent anti-inflammatory properties, CBD is an ideal addition to massage oils. And this CBD massage oil from Provocan is one of the best around.

4. Hemp Infused Balm from BudMother
There are a lot of CBD-infused balms out there but this one from BudMother is among the best. Crafted from all-natural ingredients – including CBD-rich cannabis grown in Colorado – this artisanal blend is soothing and effective.

8. Organic Hemp CACAO Protein Powder
So this product might not contain any CBD, but it still makes the list as a delicious hemp-based protein that can help your body recover well and get stronger.
