    Golden Milk Turmeric Latte

    Mar 10, 2017 • Drinks, Luteal Phase, Ovulatory Phase

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
    Golden Milk Turmeric Latte. Vegan and Dairy-Free. Cozy up with a warm mug of golden milk to fight off the cold, flu & inflammation. Immune-boosting recipe. #goldenmilk #vegan

    Think comfy, cozy and luxurious with all the warm fuzzies.

    That’s what this Golden Milk Turmeric Latte brings to your coffee mug.

    But without the caffeine and boosted with inflammation-fighting properties. Since I’m on Day FOUR of my break from coffee (ugh…) I’ve been sipping turmeric lattes (aka liquid gold) like no other. So I thought you guys might want in on this deliciousness too?

    My bestie texted me yesterday, “Are you really taking a break from coffee..?”.

    Um, unfortunately, yes. Cue the headaches… 

    After feeling totally burnt out and exhausted even with 7 hours of sleep each night, I decided maybe taking a break from caffeine is a good idea? Give my body a break?

    I don’t know… I don’t even drink that much! One, two cups at the most per day. No shots of espresso… no energy drinks (ew). I love an occasional homemade matcha latte in the afternoon but there’s hardly any caffeine in matcha. Maybe one or two cups every day for who knows how many years takes a toll on your body… LOL duh. I know its acidic and hard on the body. My occasional coffee breaks while doing the 5-day Cleanse didn’t last that long… what can I say, coffee makes me happy. (P.S. I do recommend a nightly golden elixir throughout my cleanse that is similar to this drink!).

    Sometimes our bodies need a break though. We’re constantly going going going, reaching for more caffeine to get us through and that puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the body. I doubt my break up with caffeine will last long but maybe? Who knows.

    I think it’s the whole experience that has me addicted, as well as the caffeine part. Pouring fresh water in the coffee pot. The intoxicating scent of ground coffee as I measure out each scoop. The familiar, energizing aroma that fills my apartment while I slowly wake up. Then enjoying each piping hot sip until its gone. It’s how my mornings start. I don’t think about it that much while it’s happening ha, but I imagine subconsciously, thats what happens in my mind.

    Now I want it more than ever… ! 

    Until I decide to reconcile my relationship with coffee, I’ll drink Golden Milk Turmeric Lattes all day if I want. Peppermint tea is another energizing option I love but there’s something to be said for warm almond milk whizzed up with warming spices and a subtle hint of sweet, especially in the colder months.

    What makes this cup of heaven so beneficial for the body?

    Turmeric:

    A true wonder spice! Vibrantly golden in color, this is a spice that I?ve grown to love. Coming from a root similar to ginger, it contains curcumin which is loaded with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Not to mention how it aids in healthy, glowing skin! Anytime I can add turmeric to a recipe, I’ll do it. I like this ground turmeric.

    Ginger:

    So healing and friendly on our digestive system. If you’re ever feeling nauseous, ginger is the cure. With natural cold fighting properties, it helps with congestion as well, while boosting immunity. I like this ground ginger.

    Cinnamon:

    For natural sweetness and it’s bold, delicious and distinct flavor. Cinnamon is warming and calming, while also balancing blood sugar levels and stimulating digestion. I like this cinnamon.

    Black Pepper:

    Only a teeny pinch! You won’t taste the pepper, but it’s essential to allow proper absorption of the curcumin from turmeric to take place. 

    Whisked together over the stove with almond milk and lightly sweetened with maple syrup (or honey; if not vegan). I’ve also heard of people using medjool dates in place of sweetener and blending it in a blender, then warming whichever way you prefer. You could also warm the almond milk in the microwave, then blend in the spices using a frother for a smooth, creamy cup with extra frothiness (I just ordered this new frother on amazon!). A mug of this will bring a sense of calm to your day!

      I made this and was pleasantly surprised as many other recipes golden milk recipes have failed me in the past.
      This one is simple and honestly delicious. I used oat milk and my Nespresso milk frother and it turned out perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing

    when you think “nontoxic” products are the hel when you think “nontoxic” products are the helping you but they’re actually hurting you. for me, they were too clean! And didn’t cleanse my hair properly! I was left with oily buildup and a really unhappy scalp which also meant no new hair growth was coming in. So my hair was thinning and dull. 

Then I realized I was doing it wrong and looked into a customized system for my specific hair type that actually removes the buildup and oils over time, leading to brighter, incredibly shiny hair ✨🦄
