Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 6 fl oz warm water (as needed for consistency)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional for healthy fats)
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
- In a blender, combine the warm milk, turmeric, ginger, honey, and black pepper.
- Blend on high speed until fully emulsified and smooth (about 2 minutes).
- If the mixture is too thick, add warm water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
- Optional: Add coconut oil and blend briefly to mix it in.
- Divide the golden milkshake into two glasses.
- Pour while warm and serve immediately.
Notes
Always add black pepper when using turmeric—it enhances the absorption of curcumin.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though best when consumed fresh.
For a cold version, chill ingredients before blending or add a couple of ice cubes.
To adjust sweetness, start with less honey and add to taste.
