Kratom is becoming quite the mainstream herb thanks to its ability to energize and relax both at the same time. However, people are often afraid to try it out mostly due to its often bitter taste.
While some find it unpleasant, others simply can’t stomach it.
Also, the fact that most kratom products are sold in powdered form (you can buy it from Kratom Crazy), which requires boiling it with water can make it even harder for some people to stomach/consume it.
But don’t worry. There are ways to make it work. In this post, we mention some delicious kratom smoothie recipes that you can prepare right at home. These recipes are the perfect way to mask that bitterness of kratom so you can enjoy it as a delicious drink, all the while reaping its benefits.
Note – You will need to add your personalized kratom dosage (the kind you can tolerate easily).

What you will need
- Kratom dosage
- Half ginger

Preparation Method
Cut the cucumber, pineapple slices, and celery stalks up into tiny pieces. Grab all the ingredients and blend them up to form a puree. Keep blending until it reaches a creamy drink-like consistency.

2. Kratom Orange Smoothie Recipe
What you will need
- Kratom dosage
- 6 oz chilled concentrate orange juice
- One tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 6 oz milk and water each (preferably chilled)
- Ice cubes
- 1/3 cup of sugar
Preparation Method
Measure your kratom dosage. Gather all the ingredients and put them all into a blender. Pulse it several times until the ingredients start turning over. Wait till it has reached a nice slushy-like consistency.
To this mix, add kratom and pulse/blend it once again.
Taste it and make adjustments as per your liking. If you want, you can add sugar or stevia to mask the bitterness of kratom further and make this recipe all the more enjoyable.

3. Kratom & Raspberry Smoothie
What you will need
- Powdered kratom dose
- ½ cup frozen raspberries and milk each
- 1 cup of strawberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extra
- 1 tsp sugar
- Half a cup of yogurt (flavored one will also do)
Preparation Method
First off, wash all the strawberries. You might want to do this ahead of time, that way you will have plenty of time to chill them. Chilled strawberries work better for this recipe.
Collect all the ingredients and blend them up. Keep pulsing the blender till you have a slushy. Adjust the recipe as you taste it. For improved flavor, feel free to add yogurt and more sugar.
Sweet and flavorful additions can completely mask the flavor of kratom. In fact, this recipe is so good; that you won’t even realize that you are drinking an herb like kratom.
Tip – Lactose intolerant individuals can skip on the milk and replace it with juice.
4. Kratom and Coffee Smoothie (Protein breakfast recipe)
This recipe is for you if you like consuming kratom first thing in the morning on an empty stomach even before your cup of Joe.

What you will need
- Your kratom dose (adjusted according to coffee intake)
- 1 shot of espresso
- 2 frozen bananas (sliced)
- 1 cup milk

Combine all the ingredients and blend them up. Add two ice cubes to this if you want to. Mix this up until it is a smooth consistency. Pout this mixture into a glass. You are free to add chia seeds to this preparation if your heart desires.
Switch to nut butter or other kinds of butter if you are allergic to peanut butter or don’t like the taste of it. Cashew and almond butter are excellent alternatives to peanut butter.
