Healthy Golden Milk Recipe: A Clean Alternative To An Ayurvedic Classic

Healthy Golden Milk Recipe: A Clean Alternative To An Ayurvedic Classic

Explore the health benefits of golden milk with our simple, nourishing recipe. Packed with turmeric, ginger, and coconut milk, this drink supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and boosts energy—perfect for your wellness routine.

 

golden-milk

Golden milk is a turmeric-infused, traditional Ayurvedic drink that has been cherished for centuries. Not only is it a soothing beverage, but it’s also packed with health benefits, making it a perfect alternative to coffee—especially during a cleanse. 

Why Choose Our Golden Milk Recipe?

Many traditional golden milk recipes use dairy and high-fructose sweeteners, which can be taxing on the body. We've reimagined this classic drink to be Clean-Program friendly, swapping out dairy and honey for coconut milk and coconut palm sugar, making it gentle on digestion and suitable for cleansing. 

We also add a pinch of black pepper which can aid in your body’s ability to absorb curcumin, the anti-inflammatory compound found in fermented turmeric. 

The Health Benefits of Golden Milk

Golden milk is more than just a comforting bedtime drink. Its benefits include:

  • Anti-inflammatory properties: Thanks to turmeric, golden milk can help soothe joint and muscle pain.

  • Antioxidant power: Helps combat colds, headaches, and sore throats.

  • Enhanced nutrient absorption: A pinch of black pepper aids in absorbing curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, enhancing its effectiveness.

With its warm, creamy texture and subtle spice, golden milk evokes the nostalgia of sipping warm milk before bed while delivering a powerhouse of health benefits.

Pro-tip: you can even use this as a delicious base for your Daily Shake.

Golden Milk Recipe

  • Serves: 2

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes

  • Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 2: After steeping, strain the tea into a blender to remove any solids, leaving only the infused liquid.

Step 3: Add the black pepper, vanilla extract, coconut palm sugar, and coconut milk to the blender along with the strained tea. Blend on high speed for about 45 seconds, or until the mixture is creamy and smooth. 

Step 4: Pour the golden milk into your favorite mug and enjoy it warm. For a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or turmeric on top. 

Tips:

  • Adjust the ginger and turmeric to suit your taste preferences.

  • For a frothier texture, blend for a few extra seconds.

  • You can replace the coconut milk with almond or oat milk if desired.
