CBD yoghurt: a simple, measured homemade recipe

CBD does not dissolve in water, only in fat. A plain, low-fat yoghurt is therefore not enough to spread the oil properly: it risks floating on the surface rather than mixing in. A whole-milk, Greek or coconut-milk yoghurt, richer in lipids, is a far better vehicle. A practical tip: first mix the CBD oil with a spoonful of honey or cream before stirring it into the yoghurt, as this makes even dispersion considerably easier.

For four individual portions:

• 4 whole-milk or Greek yoghurts (125 g each)
• 1 tablespoon of runny honey
• The equivalent of 40 to 60 mg of CBD as sublingual oil (to be adjusted to the strength of your bottle)
• Fresh fruit or granola to serve, to taste

First mix the CBD oil into the runny honey in a small bowl, until the mixture is smooth. Divide this mixture equally between the four yoghurts and stir each pot thoroughly for at least thirty seconds. Add the fruit or granola just before serving, to preserve their texture.

Divide the total quantity of CBD stirred in by the number of pots prepared. With 40 mg spread across four yoghurts, each pot contains around 10 mg. Write that figure on a sticky note on the fridge if several people are sharing the preparation: it is the only way to keep consumption measured. For a first experience, start with half a portion and wait at least two hours before having any more, so the oral-route effect has time to come through fully.

Keep the yoghurts in the fridge, like any ordinary yoghurt, and eat them within two to three days of making them. Always label the pots "contains CBD" and keep them out of the reach of children. Never serve a CBD yoghurt without telling the person who is going to eat it.

In France, processed foods containing cannabinoids fall under the European Novel Food regulation. Since 15 May 2026, the DGAL has withdrawn ready-to-eat CBD foods from the market for lack of authorisation. A CBD oil sold in shops for sublingual use does, on the other hand, remain available, and using it in cooking, for strictly personal consumption, is done at your own responsibility. In 2026 the EFSA set a provisionally safe daily dose of 0.0275 mg/kg/day, that is around 2 mg a day for a 70 kg adult: a useful benchmark before multiplying the portions. This recipe is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor for minors. For other ideas for home preparations with a measured dose, discover our CBD chocolate truffle recipe.

Can you use a low-fat yoghurt for this recipe?

It is not recommended: a yoghurt low in fat disperses CBD less well, since CBD remains fat-soluble. Prefer a whole-milk or Greek yoghurt for an even result.

How long before an effect is felt?

By the oral route, generally allow 45 minutes to 2 hours before a perceptible effect. Never take another dose in the belief that the first one "did not work" before that time has passed.

Can you replace the CBD oil with infused flower?

Technically yes, but the dosage becomes far more uncertain than with an oil already titrated in mg. For a reproducible recipe, oil remains the most reliable choice.

Can this yoghurt replace a sleep supplement?

No. CBD is not a medicine and no French authority has validated a sleep claim for this type of product. In the event of a persistent problem, consult a healthcare professional.
