Golden Milk Smoothie

What is Golden Milk? Golden Milk is a drink made with turmeric and other warming spices – so healthful a beverage: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti fungal and delicious! My Golden Milk Spice Mix has some detailed info about the benefits of turmeric to brain heath, heart health and arthritis relief making it a great is a great quick mix to make up to have on hand.

This Golden Milk smoothie recipe is delicious, nutritious, satisfying and has the added benefit of protein and calcium in the cottage cheese and yogurt.

If you want to keep this smoothie dairy free, use a coconut yogurt and swap the cottage cheese for a cup of white beans (cannellini or pinto), both provide plant-based protein and the beans also provide fiber, a wealth of B vitamins, including B12, iron, potassium, zinc, and other essential minerals.

If you want a warm soothing drink, my Spiced Turmeric Latte will be what you are looking for.  

As always, when you make this recipe, I would love to see your creation so please post a photo of your Golden Milk Smoothie goodness and tag my IG account #RenataCollective or leave a comment with your thoughts!
