Golden Milk Latte with Crushed Tonic Turmeric

ABOUT

Turmeric is a cousin of ginger. Its immunity boosting super powers have been backed by over 6,000 studies: Turmeric contains an essential compound, Curcumin, which helps boost your immune system’s defense mechanisms, enhance metabolism, boost white blood cell count aiding against bacteria and viruses, and boost liver detoxification.  

2 cups of this turmeric latte daily could help you beat colds and strep throats within 48 hours.

Ginger has been shown to aid with digestion due to its phenolic compounds, and being a diaphoretic, ginger induces sweating or warming from within...this is how the booster got its name! Did you also know: ginger has been shown to be an anti-inflammatory and can be a natural pain reliever and nausea reducer!

INGREDIENTS

1 Turmeric #CrushedTonic
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your preference)
1 cup water
3-5 pitted dates (more = sweeter)
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon (more or less based on preference)
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger 
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper 

    DIRECTIONS

    1. In a microwave safe dish, add almond milk, water and dates. Microwave for 1.5 minutes (or until sufficiently hot....yes we know this seems weird, but this step helps the dates blend easier :) you're welcome).
    2. In a blender, add hot almond milk + water + dates in addition to the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
