Who needs wine when you have golden milk? Relax and unwind from the day with this low-carb/keto friendly golden milk that is not only healthy but has healing properties to keep you feeling your best!
A little while ago, I started seeing this drink called golden milk all over the internet and on social media that I knew I had to see what all the hype was about.
First, a little history about golden milk – it’s a traditional Indian drink made from mixing milk with turmeric and sometimes other spices.
You’ll find all types of different variations and this recipe is our low-carb/keto version of the popular healing drink.
Golden milk is known to aid many health ailments including colds, coughs, inflammation, anxiety, depression and aches/pains. It can also boost the immune system, improve brain function as well as lower blood sugar levels!
So with all these amazing health benefits, I knew I had to try my hand in making this miracle drink low-carb/keto friendly!
I experimented with different spices and eventually came up with one that had the best taste, which this recipe is based on.
Golden milk has become my nighttime ritual as I found that it helps me unwind from the day and really relaxes my mind and body. I have also noticed a more restful nights sleep.
So the next time you feel like you need a nighttime calming drink, make yourself a cup of golden milk. I promise you will notice a difference!
Just a little note, don’t skip out of the black pepper as it helps with absorption of the nutrients found in turmeric.
For this recipe, the special ingredient you would need is Swerve/Monkfruit and Ground Turmeric, which you can pick up on Amazon or a local supermarket.
Now, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!
