Turmeric is an incredibly powerful spice. It has the potential to fight and reverse disease. It’s well known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but it can also aid in detoxification, work as a natural painkiller and may help protect against certain types of cancer.

Turmeric lattes (also called golden milk) are made with wonderful healing spices. So yes, they are a tasty little treat, but they’re also really good for you! This iced version is nourishing, takes less than 5 minutes to make and is super refreshing! Don’t forget to add a pinch of black pepper to your latte, you’ll increase curcumin (turmeric’s miracle compound) absorption!

Want to turn this into a creamy smoothie?! Add 1 big frozen banana, I do this a lot and it’s seriously delicious!

Notes

* You won’t taste it, black pepper just increases curcumin (turmeric’s miracle compound) absorption.
