Plant-Based Solar Powered Chocolates with Kyleen Keenan

Different Leaf: the Podcast

Happy National Chocolate Day! From cannabis candy bars to dank CBD dripping sauces, there are plenty of yummy infused chocolate options on the legal marijuana market. While they may all taste and feel great, most are packed with sugar and are highly processed. Thankfully, chocolatiers are leaning into a new trend of creating healthier infused treats, some even with the planet in mind.
In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to holistic nutritionist and plant-based chef Kyleen Keenan, founder of byky edibles, about her new line of delicious infused chocolate bonbons which are packed full of plant ingredients, brimming with health benefits, and are only infused with sustainably-grown cannabis from Solar Cannabis Company in Somerset MA, the first energy-independent marijuana grow facility in the US.
Kyleen discusses how she created her bonbons, which are also paleo, vegan, and organic, why she uses plant ingredients like Lion's Mane mushrooms in her chocolates, the importance of using regeneratively-grown raw cacao, which is full of antioxidants and magnesium, and how she masks the weed flavor in her healthier bonbons.
