Kratom is an ancient botanical, traditionally brewed as tea.

While some people enjoy Kratom tea’s intense herbal flavor (it tastes similar to strong green tea), others find it bitter.

Many people add sweeteners or citrus juice to mask the taste; however, there are numerous ways to consume Kratom that help you avoid the pungent aftertaste.

An excellent alternative to tea is to mix Kratom into a delicious smoothie.

Whether you want a nutrient-packed green smoothie or prefer a sweet, fruity version, there is a mouthwatering Kratom smoothie recipe that is sure to tingle your taste buds and let you reap the benefits of Kratom without the bitterness.

Here is your complete guide to making a delicious Kratom smoothie, no matter what flavor profiles you like.

Basics of Kratom for Smoothies

Although they may have noticeable flavor differences when brewed as tea, most Kratom strains taste similar once mixed into a smoothie.

Some Kratom varieties, especially red Kratom, have slight chocolate undertones that make them especially good in a sweet smoothie.

The standard serving for Kratom is 2.4 g. Do not exceed 2 servings in 24 hours.

Some types of Kratom, like Green Maeng Da Kratom and White Kratom, are known for being more potent than others varieties.

It’s best to start with a little less than usual if you’re trying a new kind of Kratom, and it is best to buy Kratom from a reputable online store.

White and green kratom strains enhance feelings of optimism and motivation and are often enjoyed in the morning and early afternoon.

This makes them ideal for adding to a nutritious breakfast smoothie to fuel your day.

Red Kratom is more commonly enjoyed in the late afternoon or evening to help you unwind.

Enjoy a red Kratom smoothie for a healthy afternoon snack or a sumptuous dessert before bed.

Choose Your Base

The first component of your Kratom smoothie is the base.

While this ingredient typically won’t add a lot of flavor to your smoothie, it ensures that the Kratom blends well with the other ingredients.

Aside from water, some popular bases include:

• Yogurt

Using yogurt or kefir as a base adds essential probiotics to your smoothie to improve gut health.

These dairy products can also protect your stomach and intentional membranes from irritation; Kratom has been known to cause mild digestive issues for inexperienced users. 

• Fruit Juice

Fruit juice is a classic alternative to water as a smoothie base and is ideal for individuals who prefer a sweeter smoothie.

The natural sugars in the juice successfully mask Kratom’s bitter flavor. 

• Avocado

When blended with water, avocado offers an abundant source of monounsaturated fat, which is important for heart health. It is also high in fiber to help improve your digestion. 

• Nut Butter

Runny nut butter, like almond, peanut, or cashew, creates a creamy texture and offers powerhouse fatty acids, like Omega 3 and 6, and provides a good source of protein. 

What Ingredients Taste Best With Kratom?

To disguise Kratom’s herbal flavor and enhance its wellness benefits, you can add a range of fruits, vegetables, and spices to your smoothie, including:

• Chocolate/ Cocoa

Many Kratom smoothie recipes include small amounts of unsweetened cocoa powder because it has a similar flavor profile to Kratom.

Despite being slightly bitter itself, cocoa is known to eliminate intense bitterness in other substances.

It also contains powerful phytochemicals, such as theobromine and theophylline, which stimulate your central nervous system and increase serotonin production. 

• Leafy Green Vegetables

Leafy green vegetables, such as kale, spinach, or Swiss chard, complement Kratom’s grassy flavor profile.

They are also jam-packed with antioxidants to combat free radical damage in your body. 

• Mango or Banana

Just about any fruit can pair well with Kratom. Mango, banana, or peach are good options for pairing with Kratom because they’re flavorful enough to mask the taste of Kratom without being overwhelmingly sweet.

Banana also helps to give your smoothie a creamy texture if you choose not to use milk. 

• Citrus

Citrus fruits, such as orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit, are some of the best ingredients to add to a Kratom smoothie.

The citric acid potentiates the alkaloids in Kratom, making it more biocompatible and easily absorbed into your body. 

Add Smoothie Boosters

You can use any amount of optional extras to create a balanced smoothie that you love. Try adding:

• Sweeteners

Avoid adding pure sugar to a smoothie. Use honey, agave, or maple syrup instead to add some sweetness.

These sweeteners have a lower glycemic index and won’t impact your blood sugar levels as drastically as refined white sugar.

• Protein Powder

Protein powder is another way to round out your smoothie and boost its nutrient density.

Chocolate protein powder is perfect for pairing with Kratom, but the vast amount of protein powder flavors on the market means that you can experiment until you find the perfect combination.

Mixing the Smoothie

Kratom doesn’t mix well on its own with cold water but disperses evenly when blended at high speed in a mixer.

Try adding the Kratom gradually or in the same step that you add protein powder. Add the powdered ingredients directly on top of the liquid in your blender to avoid excessive frothing.

Since greens are tricky to blend well, add greens to the blended powder and liquid, then give a few pulses with the blender to pre-blend them.

Then, add harder ingredients like fruit and ice cubes. After that, you should be able to blend the mixture until it is creamy and smooth.

If the smoothie is too thick, try adding more of your base. Smoothies that are too thin can be pumped up with an extra banana.

Avoid adding more protein powder, as changing the recommended serving size can alter the nutritional balance of your meal.
