From curry powder to trendy drink
Golden milk or turmeric latte is not yet well known to many, but it is well on the way to becoming a star in the coffee shop. The drink made from plant milk and turmeric is vegan, healthy, and stimulating.
So far, turmeric is more known as a spice in curry powder, but in the golden milk, it unfolds its full positive properties. It gives a beautiful bright yellow color, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and protects against diseases. Golden milk is a great alternative to coffee for breakfast or in between.
Golden milk with the miracle tuber turmeric
Turmeric, ginger, and spices really come into their own in the golden milk. While ginger, cinnamon & Co. are popular ingredients, turmeric is not one of the well-known must-haves in the kitchen – not yet! Turmeric adds a bright yellow color to any dish, including golden milk. But it can do even more: The mildly spicy turmeric contains curcumin and is, therefore, a superfood par excellence.
The active ingredient in turmeric gives the golden milk a cleansing and healing as well as an antibacterial effect. It also promotes digestion and stimulates the liver to release more bile acid to bind dietary fats, thus relieving flatulence and a feeling of fullness. But that’s not all: turmeric is said to have anti-cancer properties and have a positive effect on Alzheimer’s.
Since the golden milk is made with plant milk, it not only tastes delicious but is also a vegan fitness booster! You can find out how easy it is to make golden milk yourself in the following recipe.
