Well… as you know, I’m completely head over heals for zucchini noodles because they’re so delicious. And of course I have a spiralizer which barely ever gets put away because we’re always using it! Then there was the avocado baked eggs trend where I finally caved, tried them out, and made this Mexican Avocado Baked Eggs with Salsa version, which is still a brunch favorite. So please tell me I’m not the only one who hasn’t jumped aboard the golden milk train!?! If you’re like me and you have no idea what golden milk is, get ready to jump aboard yet another trend, because this one is so delicious. Golden Milk aka ‘Turmeric Tea’ is a blend of spices, milk, and a touch of sweetener. The spices (which are very similar to chai) are gently simmered, and their flavor steeps into the milk. From there it’s just a choice between serving it hot or cold! Since it’s been between 80º and 90ºF here, making this into an iced latte was pretty much mandatory. There’s a couple things I love about golden milk:

Turmeric Tea or Golden Milk’s main claim to fame is that it’s made with turmeric. Turmeric has become a buzzword because it’s been proven to be an anti-inflammatory. It’s primarily used to give color to curries, but they’ve used it to treat all sorts of things in India for thousands of years. It’s related to ginger, and it contains a compound called curcumin, which is an antioxident that has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. They’re doing all kinds of studies using this compound from turmeric, and it’s been shown to help with everything from heart disease and brain disease, to cancer. What I love about this drink is that you’re putting something good in your body that tastes great! I call it the ‘sweet spot’ when you can line up taste with health because how else are we going to stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle? 5 from 1 review
