Golden Healing Latte (Turmeric, Maca, Dairy-Free)

If you need a cozy and nourishing drink to perk yourself up, this turmeric latte is the answer. It's made with soy milk for added protein and its golden hue comes from the anti-inflammatory spice, turmeric. The blend of spices gives it just enough sweetness while keeping it creamy and comforting. This recipe is super easy to make ahead so that whenever you crave something warm and soothing, your perfect cuppa will be ready in no time! And as an added bonus - it helps balance hormones too!

GOLDEN AND DELICIOUS HEALING LATTE


This turmeric maca latte is a comforting drink that not only gives you an energy boost but also has some cool health benefits. The turmeric in it helps reduce inflammation, and the maca balances your hormones – so basically, it's a win-win situation! Plus, did I mention how cozy and delicious it tastes?


If you wanna whip up a cozy turmeric latte in the comfort of your own home, grab some soy milk (or whatever floats your boat), toss in some ground turmeric and ginger powder for that extra kick, sprinkle maca powder to keep those hormones balanced, add cinnamon to sweeten things up, and throw in other spices like black pepper for more perks - this one helps with absorbing turmeric. Give it all a good mix inside a jar then use about tablespoon at a time whenever you feel like sipping on some homemade goodness.

HEALING IS THE NEW HIGH


The golden turmeric latte is made with ingredients that are known to possess healing properties, which helps in enhancing energy levels and alleviating inflammation.


It also aids digestion, balances blood sugar, and regulates hormones making it a comforting drink that nourishes both the body and soul.


Let's take a closer look at these amazing benefits!


Turmeric - the main ingredient in this golden latte, has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation has been linked to various chronic diseases, so incorporating turmeric into your diet can have long-term benefits for your health.


Maca Powder - another key ingredient in this latte, is known to help balance hormones by regulating the endocrine system. This makes it a great addition to the latte for anyone looking to support their hormonal health.


Cinnamon - on the other hand, is a natural sweetener that not only adds flavour to the latte but also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help lower blood sugar levels. Cinnamon also has been shown to improve brain function and may even have anti-cancer properties, making it a beneficial ingredient in this healing latte.


Green Cardamom - another spice used in this latte, is known to aid digestion, effectively lower blood pressure and improve circulation, which can further enhance the overall health benefits of this nourishing beverage.


Clove - another spice used in this latte, has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help support oral health and prevent infections.


Ginger - is another spice used in this latte that has anti-inflammatory properties and can help ease nausea during pregnancy, soreness from exercise, and relieve other digestive issues.


Star Anise - the final ingredient in this golden turmeric latte, is known for its potential ability to improve digestion and alleviate symptoms associated with gastrointestinal distress such as bloating and gas. Also, star anise can aid to boost the immune system, and fight viruses thanks to its high content of antioxidants and polyphenols.


Black Pepper - a great spice to pair with turmeric, not only enhances the flavor of this latte but also improves the absorption of curcumin - the active ingredient in turmeric.


Overall, the golden turmeric latte is a delicious and healthy drink that combines the healing properties of several powerful ingredients to help nourish your body and promote overall wellness.

TURMERIC: A SUPER HEALING MEDICINAL SPICE


Turmeric is a popular ingredient in the golden latte due to its anti-inflammatory properties that have been linked to various chronic diseases. 

Incorporating turmeric into your diet can have long-term benefits for your health. Incorporating black pepper into the latte can increase the absorption of curcumin -the active ingredient in turmeric - by up to 2000%, making it even more effective as a natural anti-inflammatory agent. 

Moreover, turmeric has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to treat a variety of health issues, including joint pain, digestive problems, skin conditions, and liver diseases. These various health benefits make turmeric an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being and support their body's natural healing processes. 

In conclusion, incorporating a golden turmeric latte into your daily routine can be a simple yet effective way to promote overall health and wellness. 

Consider adding this nourishing and healing beverage to your morning routine as a healthy alternative to coffee or tea, especially if you are looking for ways to reduce caffeine intake whilst lowering inflammation and improving digestion. 

By combining various spices and natural ingredients, the golden turmeric latte offers a tasty way to enjoy the health benefits of these powerful components in one convenient and delicious beverage. 

Cheers to your health!

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of a freshly brewed cup of coffee, is there? It’s a delicious and all-pervasive scent that we look forward to each and every day… but as much as we love the delightful coffee bean, it doesn’t always love us back in the same way and all too often we find ourselves feeling a little anxious and jittery, or even dealing with a few stomach cramps after sipping on our morning cup of Java Joe. So what alternatives are there that we can enjoy just as much as coffee, that will give us a bit of a kick we’re looking for first thing but which won’t give us any of the nasty potential side-effects that come with caffeine? Here are just a couple of ideas to help get you started with your new caffeine-free routine! Mushroom coffee If you don’t want to turn your back on your favourite beverage entirely, what about substituting it for mushroom coffee every now and again? This is somewhat similar in flavour to actual coffee since it’s just coffee with mushroom extract in it, so it could help you bridge the gap from caffeine enthusiast to caffeine-free. It even looks like your typical ground coffee beans, since the mushrooms have been dried and extracted to get all the compounds out, before they’re blended into regular coffee. And even better than that, there are all sorts of potential health benefits to be reaped by increasing your mushroom consumption, so give it a go and see what you think! Peppermint tea Another alternative is a delicious and refreshing cup of peppermint tea. How dainty! It’s thought that peppermint can help give you an energy boost and tackle fatigue and sleepiness, so if you do struggle to get going in the morning, this could be the new tipple for you. Chicory coffee Or what about giving chicory coffee a go? For this coffee iteration, chicory root is dried, roasted and ground up to make a healthy drink that’s similar in colour to coffee but is sweeter (so no need to add extra sugar!), nuttier and less bitter than traditional coffee. It may not give you the intense morning energy boost you’re after, but research suggests that the inulin found within the root (which is a prebiotic fibre) can support the gut microbiome and promote good bowel health, so there are other potential benefits to the drink.
