Ginger Turmeric Almond Milk

I have become somewhat addicted to this ginger turmeric almond milk.  This is a sassy drink made with almond milk, coconut cream, fresh ginger juice, and a bit of turmeric.  I especially love drinking ginger turmeric almond milk cold, but it is wonderful steamed and almond milk froths like a boss!

January is the perfect time to reset my diet.  The holidays are filled with rich and overly sweet treats most of which I should not have eaten…with the exception of Becky’s baklava.  I consider her baklava health food because it’s made with honey, nuts, and a lot of love.   Thank goodness we have a January.  I love a new year with a blank slate.  I restart my health by eating smarter and cleaner.  My running logbook is back to zero (sigh) time to start tracking my mileage again.  This list goes on and on.

I thought I’d share a quick little drink that I like to keep on hand for a quick pick-me-up during the day.  It tastes amazing and has great health benefits.

To make this amazing golden milk gather the following:

  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream (scoop off the top of canned coconut milk, the hardened stuff on top)
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger juice, or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon powder turmeric
  • 2 dates, pitted
  • 1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
  • fresh ground pepper, if desired

In a blender add the almond milk, coconut cream, ginger, turmeric, dates, and salt.  Whiz until smooth and creamy.  Refrigerate until cold.  Serve with a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper.

Explanation of ingredients:

  • Use almond milk without thickeners and additives (yuck). Homemade is best in my opinion.
  • Why coconut cream?  Fat helps with the absorption of turmeric just like a sprinkle of pepper.
  • Ginger juice is known for its anti-inflammatory properties AND I just love the stuff…straight up!
  • Dates for a bit of sweetness, because I’m addicted to sweet.
  • Adding pepper is a way to boost the absorption of curcumin found in turmeric which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects.  Wow!

Add a double shot of fresh ginger juice and feel the burn…I double dare you.

Recipe Notes

  1. I like using homemade almond milk.  If using purchased almond milk, buy a brand that doesn't contain thickeners or gums.  That's no bueno.

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink. 

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti are my favorite and I add them to my Christmas cookie list because they make such a cute gift, but most of all I love dipping them in my cocoa.
