Kratom, a botanical product from Southeast Asia, has become increasingly popular in various wellness communities around the world. Its leaves are traditionally used in a variety of cultural practices, and today, they are often consumed for their distinctive properties. Here, we explore innovative and tasty ways to incorporate kratom into your routine through various recipes and consumption methods. It’s important to note that kratom has not been approved by the FDA for medical use. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
Kratom Tea
One of the most popular methods of consuming kratom is by brewing it into tea. Kratom tea can be made from dried leaves or from powdered kratom, such as our kratom powders.
Classic Kratom Tea:
- Boil 2-3 cups of water in a small pot.
- Add one serving of kratom powder, following the directions on the label.
- Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes.
- Strain the liquid to remove the powder or leaves.
- You can add honey, lemon, or mint to enhance the flavor.
This method is favored for its simplicity and how easily the flavor can be adjusted.
Kratom Smoothies
For those who find the taste of kratom too strong, mixing it into a smoothie can mask the flavor with delightful results.
Kratom Green Smoothie:
- In a blender, combine a handful of fresh spinach, a sliced banana, and a half cup of your choice of milk or juice for a base.
- Add one serving of kratom powder, as directed on the label.
- Add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup for sweetness.
- Blend until smooth.
This tasty smoothie makes kratom an easy part of a morning or afternoon routine.
Kratom with Yogurt
Mixing kratom with yogurt can help mitigate its bitter taste and make it more palatable.
Kratom Infused Yogurt:
- Choose a cup of your favorite flavored yogurt—vanilla or any fruit flavor works well.
- Stir in one serving of kratom powder, as directed on the label, until well-mixed.
- Add fruits or nuts for added texture and flavor.
This method is quick, easy, and makes for a satisfying snack or dessert.
Kratom Capsules
For those who prefer not to taste kratom at all, capsules offer a convenient alternative. MitWellness kratom capsules come in 100- to 1,000-count packs filled with the same whole-leaf powder we sell loose, but you can also make your own if you prefer to measure your own serving:
- Purchase empty capsules from a health store.
- Fill them with your measured amount of kratom powder using a capsule filling machine.
- Follow the directions for your specific capsule machine to ensure they are securely closed.
Capsules are a straightforward way to keep servings consistent and avoid the taste of kratom entirely.
Toss and Wash Method
Finally, the “toss and wash” method is one of the quickest and most straightforward ways to consume kratom, though it is often considered less palatable:
- Measure a single serving of kratom powder, as directed on the label.
- Toss it into your mouth.
- Immediately wash it down with water or juice.
This method requires no preparation but can be challenging due to the powder’s texture and taste.
Exploring different methods of consuming kratom can make it more enjoyable and better suited to your tastes and lifestyle. Whether you prefer the ritual of brewing tea, the freshness of a smoothie, the convenience of capsules, or the quickness of the toss-and-wash method, there are numerous ways to incorporate kratom into your daily routine. If you would rather skip preparation entirely, ready-to-drink kratom shots and pre-portioned kratom gummies need no measuring at all. Remember, always follow the directions on the label and consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, particularly if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
