Meet Carlos & Geoffrey of Spoonabilities
When Carlos Leo sits down to craft a recipe, he looks at it holistically, as a balance of mind, body, and soul.
More than an aspiring chef, Carlos is a food photographer, and storyteller. It shows in his attention-to-detail in each drool-worthy photo he styles and captures, and his fresh take on traditional recipes and flavor profiles.
“Every recipe has a special story and place in my heart, and these are the stories I want to share.”
With his husband Geoffrey, he built Spoonabilities, a recipe blog and online shop that creates space for these stories.
“After spending hours at farmer’s markets, cafés, and restaurants around the world, we start talking about how wonderful it would be to buy the products we fell in love with, share our discoveries with people, and support family-owned businesses all over the world.”
Carlos’ recipes feature both classic favorites and new twists on Caribbean, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Dominican, and traditional American cuisine.
Healing Ingredients
In his healing CBD dessert recipe, Carlos used our Beta-Caryophyllene terpene for it’s warm, sweet aroma and soothing properties. He also infuses the chocolate créme with our Water-Soluble CBD Powder to enhance the dessert’s health benefits as a whole through cannabis synergy.
Chocolate is a symbol of love, happiness, relaxation, joy, commitment, and celebration. Dark chocolate is also a proven antioxidant, and engages with our neurotransmitters similarly to CBD.
Think of terpenes as even purer forms of essential oils. Beta-Caryophyllene is a distinctively spicy-sweet terpene with a woody, clove-like aroma commonly found in black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, hops, basil, oregano, and cannabis. It’s known for its body-soothing and mood-enhancing qualities.
Our Water-Soluble CBD Powder is a flavorless powder is formulated for potency without the frills. It’s a nanoemulsified, fast-acting formula with full-spectrum CBD, which makes it perfect for infusing into sweet and savory dishes alike (more tips here). It’s widely used as a natural remedy for maintaining physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, optimal skin health, better sleep, and immunity support.
“The CBD powder – I genuinely love this product because it’s tasteless. I don’t taste that particular taste that you get in CBD tinctures. This is wonderful because it opens my eyes…I can use it in almost anything, and it won’t change the flavor profile.” – Carlos Leo, Spoonabilities
