Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is a concentrated cannabis oil known for its high potency and vicous consistency. People typically take Rick Simpson Oil in very small measured amounts, and because it’s already in an edible format, you can mix it into food instead of eating it straight.
The right food can help cover the rather strong, natural flavor, and make the texture easier to manage. You don’t need a complicated recipe, either. In most cases, the best options are simple foods you probably eat every day.
Before mixing Rick Simpson Oil into anything, remember that a little goes a long way so only measure the correct dose. Rick Simpson Oil is potent, so start with a small amount and give your body enough time to respond. That helps you keep your serving consistent instead of having to guess each time.
You should also avoid cooking Rick Simpson Oil over high heat. Too much heat can begin to degrade the oil and make it less effective.
Here are five staple foods that work especially well for mixing Rick Simpson Oil into everyday meals.
Peanut Butter Toast
Peanut butter toast is one of the easiest foods to mix Rick Simpson Oil into because it already has a thick, rich texture. The nutty flavor helps cover the earthy taste of the oil, and the fat in peanut butter makes the whole bite feel more balanced.
To make it, toast your bread first, then spread the peanut butter while the bread is still warm. Add your measured Rick Simpson Oil dose into a small spoonful of peanut butter and stir until it blends in. Then spread that mixture over the toast.
This works well because you’re not exposing the Rick Simpson Oil to direct heat. The toast is warm enough to soften everything slightly, but you’re not cooking the oil. Toast is convenient because it’s easy to portion. One slice can hold one measured serving (typically a rice grain- sized amount), which makes it easier to dose.
You can keep it simple with plain peanut butter, or add banana slices, honey, cinnamon, or a few chocolate chips if you want the flavor to feel more like a snack. Almond butter and cashew butter can work the same way if you prefer them.
Peanut butter toast is best when you want something quick, filling, and easy to repeat.
Pasta Sauce
Pasta sauce is another great option because it has bold flavor and enough richness to hide Rick Simpson Oil well. Tomato sauce, meat sauce, vodka sauce, pesto, and Alfredo can all work, depending on what you like.
The key is timing. Cook your pasta and sauce first. Once the sauce is off the heat and slightly cooled, stir your measured Rick Simpson Oil into a small portion of sauce. After it blends in, mix that portion into your plate.
This method helps you avoid wasting Rick Simpson Oil in a full pot of pasta. It also helps you control the serving. If you add Rick Simpson Oil to the entire pan, it becomes harder to know how much you’re actually getting per plate. Mixing it into your own serving is much more practical.
Tomato sauce works well if you like stronger, savory flavors. Alfredo or pesto can be even better if you want more fat and creaminess to soften the taste of Rick Simpson Oil. A little grated parmesan, olive oil, or butter can also help the sauce carry the flavor more smoothly.
Pasta sauce is best when you want to make Rick Simpson Oil part of a real meal instead of a small snack.
Soup
Soup can work surprisingly well with Rick Simpson Oil, especially thicker soups like tomato soup, potato soup, butternut squash soup, chili, lentil soup, or creamy chicken soup. These options have enough body to help the oil blend in better than a thin broth.
You’ll want to heat the soup first, then let it cool slightly before stirring in your measured Rick Simpson Oil. If the soup is boiling hot, wait a few minutes. You want it warm enough to help the oil loosen, but not so hot that you’re cooking the Rick Simpson Oil aggressively.
For best results, mix the Rick Simpson Oil into a small amount of soup in a separate bowl first. Stir until it looks evenly blended, then add the rest of your serving. This helps prevent the oil from sticking to one spot.
Creamy soups usually hide the flavor better than clear broths. Chili also works well because the spices, beans, tomatoes, and fat from meat or toppings can help mask the earthy taste. If you’re making a simple soup, toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, olive oil, avocado, or crackers can make the texture more satisfying.
Soup is best when you want something warm, comforting, and easy to eat slowly.
Brownies and Cakes
Brownies and cake are common choices because chocolate, sugar, butter, and frosting can cover strong flavors very well. If you’ve ever had a bitter ingredient disappear into a rich dessert, you already understand why this works.
The most important thing is not to bake the Rick Simpson Oil at high heat for a long time. Instead of adding it to the batter before baking, add it after the dessert is finished. You can mix your measured Rick Simpson Oil into frosting, chocolate sauce, peanut butter drizzle, caramel, or a small spoonful of ganache.
For brownies, try mixing the Rick Simpson Oil into a thin layer of chocolate frosting and spreading it over one portion. For cake, mix it into frosting before adding it to your slice. That gives you more control and helps avoid uneven dosing.
This approach also keeps the serving easier to measure. If you dose one brownie or one slice of cake, you know what you’re taking. If you add Rick Simpson Oil to a full pan, you have to divide everything perfectly to estimate each piece.
Brownies and cake are best when you want to mask the taste as much as possible and turn Rick Simpson Oil into a dessert-style serving.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a simple option that works for breakfast or a light meal. It’s warm, soft, and easy to customize with flavors that help cover Rick Simpson Oil.
Cook the oatmeal first, then let it cool for a minute or two. Stir your measured Rick Simpson Oil into a small spoonful of peanut butter, almond butter, honey, maple syrup, or melted butter. Then mix that into your bowl.
This extra step matters because Rick Simpson Oil blends better when you combine it with a thicker ingredient first. If you drop it straight into plain oats, it may not spread evenly. A nut butter or sweetener helps carry it through the bowl.
You can add bananas, berries, cinnamon, cocoa powder, brown sugar, chopped nuts, or granola to improve the flavor. Chocolate oatmeal with peanut butter is one of the easiest versions because the stronger flavors do a better job hiding the oil.
Oatmeal is best when you want a familiar food that feels gentle, filling, and easy to portion in the morning.
Quick Tips For Mixing Rick Simpson Oil Into Food
Start with a small measured amount, especially if you’re new to Rick Simpson Oil or trying a new serving size. Rick Simpson Oil can feel much stronger than a typical edible, and effects may take time to fully set in.
Add Rick Simpson Oil after cooking whenever possible. Warm food can help it blend, but high heat is not your friend. Stir it into your own serving instead of a full recipe so you know how much you’re taking.
Choose foods with fat, strong flavor, or a creamy texture. Peanut butter, sauces, soups, frosting, and oatmeal mix-ins all help make Rick Simpson Oil easier to eat. Plain crackers or dry foods usually don’t work as well because the oil can sit on top and taste too strong.
Store Rick Simpson Oil safely, clearly labeled, and away from children, pets, or anyone who might mistake it for regular food.
Final Thoughts
The best foods to mix Rick Simpson Oil into are the foods you already enjoy and can portion carefully. Peanut butter toast, pasta sauce, soup, brownies, and oatmeal are all good options for this because they help cover the taste while giving the oil something to blend into.
Keep the process simple. Measure your dose, add it after cooking, mix it into your own serving, and give yourself time before taking more. With the right food, Rick Simpson Oil can fit into your routine without turning every serving into a struggle.
