    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

    & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP. It was super oily & my hair needed SERIOUS HELP.

It was super oily and greasy with buildup from past products. I was washing daily… and just unhappy with the dullness and lack of volume. That has since changed!

Aside from getting transformed hair, this opportunity allows motivated women to have another income source. It allows mamas to have the best of both worlds - their own income while raising their babies (if you’re in that phase of life). It provides social media training, so much guidance and support (you’re never doing it alone), earned confidence and most importantly, community. Some of my best friends are here now because we talk daily and know everything about each other’s lives! Surrounding yourself with like-minded successful women can turn your life around. I’m not kidding. You are who you surround yourself with. It’s more than just shampoo. 

All it takes is deciding YES and stepping out of your comfort zone.  Don’t let life pass you by. Stop wondering and start taking action! 🥂 

If you’re ready, DM me BIZ and let’s chat 💞

    what healing looks like 🌼🩷 I starts out my what healing looks like 🌼🩷

I starts out my morning with a bunch of supplements to eliminate parasites and bacteria and repair my gut while supporting my liver and gallbladder. Next I make a protein smoothie with vanilla whey protein powder and a custom supplement to support my deficiencies. And lastly my creamy dandy blend latte because I’m not drinking coffee right now.

This is what works for me right now! I also have gf toast usually from @awgbakery. I’ve had to eliminate so many things but it’s all for good reason, to reduce all the inflammation. I’m working with @lifelabwellnessco if you would like your own custom plan and testing 🙏🏼 should I share more videos like this?
