There’s something about ending the night with a cozy drink that just helps me to unwind and drift into a good night’s rest. It’s my little form of self care at the end of a long day! This golden turmeric latte is delicious and packed with ingredients that are good for you!
First of all, let’s talk about ginger! This goodness soothes the Gut Lining and increases the presence of prostaglandins, which are hormone like substances in the body. They fight against inflammation, which protects and heals the gut lining.
Next up is turmeric! Did you know that part of the reason that turmeric is in curry powder is because it adds an element of deliciousness to food? But turmeric can also play an important role in digesting that food. Because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric can contribute to healthy digestion.
Lastly, there’s cinnamon which is an underrated, but really valuable spice. Some spices, including cinnamon, have prebiotic properties. Consuming them regularly may help restore the balance of bacteria in your gut, support digestive health and alleviate digestive issues.
You need: 1 tbsp ginger (grated), 1 cup canned coconut milk, 1 cup water, 1 tsp turmeric (powder), 1 tbsp raw honey, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsps coconut oil.
Grate the ginger and squeeze the juice into a pan. Discard the pulp. Add remaining ingredients and heat though; don't let it boil. Whisk continuously. Transfer to a mason jar and seal with a lid. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until foam starts to form. Pour into a glass and enjoy
