Ready for your newest obsession? This magical drink will have you cheating on your morning cup of coffee whether you like it or not! It’s super easy to make and the health benefits are endless:
- decreases inflammation and pain caused by arthritis
- detoxifies the liver
- boosts blood circulation while thinning blood
- boosts brain function by promoting healthy cell function
- soothes the digestive system and ease acid reflux
- prevents some cancers
It’s called “Golden Milk” or “Turmeric Boost” and it is a powder that contains turmeric and pepper as well as other additional spices. I add this every morning to a glass of nut-milk (warmed up via espresso machine). I am OBSESSED with Silks Almond Protein milk! It’s low calorie and contains added protein which ALSO makes this a perfect post-workout drink if you exercise early in the morning like I do! After drinking this everyday, I’ve felt:
- More centered and calm
- More energized
- Better digestion
- Less achey after working out
In addition, I have been told that eating something high in fat increases the benefits reaped from drinking golden milk. So what I like to do is add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or ghee and sometimes 1 teaspoon of honey that we get from our own honey bees! Here is the recipe below:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of almond milk (hemp or coconut are also good options)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or Ghee
- 1 tablespoon of “Golden Milk” or “Turmeric Boost”
- Honey
Combine ingredients and warm it up just before you start to see it boil.
