I swear if I consume any more yellow foods this week I WILL TURN yellow.

Between the nutritional yeast I’ve been sprinkling on both my eggs in the morning and these kale chips, spaghetti squash , and now this turmeric latte… I feel like I need a yellow food intervention. What if my nose starts turning yellow like babies do when they have too much carotene?

Alright, I don’t really think that is possible for adults but that would be kind of awesome… If I were turning different colors based on the foods I was consuming, I would definitely be rotating between green, yellow, and purple these days…

ANYWAYS.

Have you heard about “golden milk“? If not, it’s essentially a turmeric latte. It’s actually said to be very beneficial to one’s health. Turmeric is high in curcumin, which has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. I’m always looking to add these types of foods and ingredients to my diet because you never know what kind of inflammation is going to wreak havoc on your system. Whether it’s from physical or mental stress, inflammation shows itself in various forms. And often times you don’t realize it until it’s too late!

But I digress…

So in December I developed this habit of having a warm “golden milk” before bed. But then I started the Whole30 during the month of January and I really missed having that turmeric latte before bed.  January got pretty cold for us here in Michigan, so there were many nights I really looked forward to enjoying a warm drink before bed. I found it comforting both physically and mentally. It really helped me wind down for the evening. But I was making the traditional golden milk sweetened with honey–which is not technically allowed during Whole30…

Soooo I may have blended in a date a time or two when making my turmeric lattes last month in January… So is this Whole30 approved, you ask? Well, this is probably another SWYPO act. But I just really wanted my turmeric latte before bed. I even TRIED making it just plain (no added sweet stuff of any kind) but I found it very unfavorable. The turmeric spice just needs some kind of sweetness to balance out the strong flavor. So I blended a date in and then all was well in the world again 😀

  • fresh ginger

How to make a golden milk turmeric latte

Ingredients for turmeric latte mixed together in saucepan with whisk

So essentially you’re just mixing everything up–sans the date and fresh ginger–in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, just before bubbling. Then let the mixture cool about 5-10 minutes before adding the liquid to a blender cup with the date and fresh ginger.

Using a blender also gives the turmeric latte some lovely foam action…

    I started by following the recipe, but when blending the date, it would sink to the bottom of the milk. So I started skipping the blender and skewering the date to swirl around as a treat in the milk. But others may like the date blended for overall sweetness-it’s your choice. My only suggestion is to cut off both ends of the date before blending or skewering. But look up all the health benefits of the ingredients, plus the medjool date-it’s worth trying. 😁

    I had to adjust because I didnt have fresh ginger. I also didnt have coconut milk. I used a little evaporated milk, powdered ginger, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla, 1 pack of splenda, and 1 tsp honey. Heated it up and straight to my cup. It works and it was delicious. Thanks.
