Monday Mornings Deserve Better Coffee

There's a version of Monday morning where you rush through a cup of whatever's left in the pot, feel jittery by 9 AM, and spend the rest of the morning trying to level out. We've all been there.

Then there's the version where you slow down for exactly two minutes, make something that actually tastes good, and walk into your week feeling steady instead of wired. That's what we're going for today.

The Recipe (If You Can Even Call It That)

This is barely a recipe. It's more like an upgrade to something you're already doing. Here's what you need: cold brew coffee (homemade or store-bought, whatever you've got), a CBD + CBG + CBN Honey Stix ($2.00), a splash of your favorite milk or creamer, and ice.

Pour your cold brew over ice, leaving about an inch of room at the top. Squeeze in one honey stix and stir it until the honey dissolves — takes maybe thirty seconds. Top it off with milk or creamer if that's your thing. That's it. You're done.

Each honey stix has 27mg of CBD, CBG, and CBN, so you're getting a nice blend of cannabinoids without measuring anything or pulling out a dropper at 7 AM. The honey adds just enough sweetness that you probably don't need anything else.

Why This Combo Works

Caffeine and CBD might sound like they're pulling in opposite directions, but a lot of our customers tell us they pair really well together. The coffee gives you the focus and the energy. The CBD may help smooth out that anxious edge that sometimes comes along for the ride — especially on Mondays when you've got a full inbox and a brain that hasn't quite caught up yet.

If you want to go a different route, the Nano CBD Hydration Drops ($80.00) work great stirred into cold drinks. They're fast-absorbing and come in a few flavors, so you can customize the taste a bit. A full dropper in your cold brew is another easy way to get your CBD in before the day takes off.

Make It Your Own

Some of our regulars have been riffing on this. A few things that work: a scoop of collagen powder if you're into that, a dash of cinnamon, or oat milk for that creamy texture without the heaviness. One customer told us she uses the Honey Jar by GoodLeaf ($45.00) instead of the stix — a spoonful of peach CBD honey in cold brew is apparently life-changing. Her words, not ours, but we tried it and she's not wrong.

The point isn't to overthink it. The point is to take something you're already doing every Monday morning and make it a little more intentional. Two minutes. One honey stix. A better start to the week.

Stop by the shop in Loveland if you want to grab a few stix to try it yourself. We'll even make you one if you ask nicely.
