Today’s Ingredients Do you have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap? I didn’t realize it was a thing for the longest time, because my parents were obsessed with it! We would buy several bunches from the grocery store, and they’d be gone within the week. We would use them in everything, from soups to salads to making sauce with just cilantro. So if you’re anything like my family, you’re going to love today’s recipe.   • Food to enjoy: Chicken nacho dip with sweet potato chips   • News to know: Study puts a cap on lifespan at 194 years   • Tips to live well: The best vegan and vegetarian sources of protein Let’s get blending, Sarah Choi Newsletter Editor, Healthline   Written by Sarah Choi July 7, 2026 • 2 min read Recipe of the week Tropical cilantro smoothie You’ve heard of spinach and kale in smoothies, and maybe you’ve added mint or basil before. But cilantro? In a smoothie? Yes, it’s real — and surprisingly, it works. The smoothie is made with just 4 simple ingredients: pineapples, bananas, orange juice, and, of course, cilantro. Cilantro is mostly water, so it’s low in calories. However, it is a source of vitamins A and K and complements the sweetness of the more tropical smoothie ingredients. Pineapple is also a nutritional powerhouse, providing vitamins B6 and C, as well as several minerals. Vitamin C supports important bodily functions, such as iron absorption and immune system function. Ensure you thoroughly wash your produce, especially the cilantro, before blending it into your smoothie to reduce the risk of Cyclospora.

CBD products we tried and loved

Check out our favorites.

Today’s bag The CBD products still topping our charts Happy National CBD Day! It’s the holiday we never knew existed but are happy to celebrate. In its honor, we’re sharing some standout products from our years of testing CBD. Gummies, oils, capsules, creams — take your pick. These products have helped Healthliners with pain, stress, relaxation, and sleep. If you’re new to CBD, always start small before scaling up your dose. Topicals are typically better for trying to alleviate pain, while gummies, capsules, and oil tinctures are more suitable for remedying high stress and sleep issues. Ready to explore the editor’s top picks? See what our reviewers have to say about some of our favorite products below.   Cornbread Watermelon CBD Gummies Sweet but not too sweet. Strong but not too strong. That seems to be the consensus after several years of testing these gummies. “I felt sleepier faster than I normally would,” said one of our original testers. SHOP NOW   Joy Organics CBD Sports Cream This pain cream has a menthol smell, but not as strong as some other topicals. “This product smells really, really good, and that is refreshing to me,” one tester commented. It’s best for surface pain and muscle soreness — less effective for joint and nerve pain. SHOP NOW   Aspen Green Extra Strength Full Spectrum CBD Oil “This was definitely one of the strongest and most effective of the products I tried when it came to anxiety relief,” one tester shared. Tip: Reach for the flavored options. Since it’s potent, the hemp taste packs a punch. SHOP NOW   Medterra Daily Relief Isolate Capsules We’ve found these capsules to be mild but effective. “It calmed my stress down to where I was not drowsy but relaxed,” said our tester. They’re made from isolate CBD, which means it’s pure CBD without any extras from the hemp plant — zero THC. SHOP NOW 💌 Over to you: Do you use any CBD products? If so, which ones are your favorite?
