Golden Mylk Turmeric Lattes | How to Make Them + Health Benefits

September 25, 2018 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

health-benefits-of-turmeric

One thousand percent, I used to think making turmeric lattes was just about adding a tsp of turmeric to warm, unsweetened almond milk. 

No wonder I used to not like them. 

But made correctly…. oh boy. Am I in for trouble this winter. 

My relationship with turmeric is a funny thing. I can’t tolerate the taste of it alone, yet, 

  • I have a teaspoon of it every day with a litre of water. 
  • The flavour of it in recipes is completely different, especially in stir fries. 
  • And I don’t think there’s anything that can quite top a warm turmeric latte on those cold fall days. 

Turmeric is a definite superfood in my books. My heartmate actually takes turmeric pills every morning, whereas I like to go more hardcore and drink it straight up with 500ml of water. It DOES NOT go down smooth unfortunately. 

I have turmeric daily because of the health benefits. It’s a wonderful spice and medicinal herb with healing powers and natural anti-inflammatory compounds. Turmeric lattes are actually my favourite way of getting my regular dose. 

The main active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, is actually what has the powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. 

Chronic inflammation can be quite serious if you’re suffering from it. But taking turmeric supplements with high levels of curcumin can help. 

I’ve also found turmeric to be great for helping clear skin, cure inflamed areas (pimples, acne, etc.), and to leave skin with a healthy glow. 

With that said, taking supplements doesn’t sound appealing to me. By any stretch. But a warm golden mylk turmeric latte?! Hello happiness! 

Three brands of turmeric I’m loving right now: 

  • My Shot of Gold 
  • Organic Traditions 
  • Botanica Golden Mylk 

My Shot of Gold is a special one and has a place in my heart because of their ethos. With every pouch of turmeric you purchase from them, a donation is made to help girls achieve higher levels of education in India. How beautiful, right? They also happen to be a local Toronto-based company, which makes it even more special for me to be able to support local. 

Make these easy vegan golden mylk lattes this fall & winter!

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
