Golden Nut Milk

 Golden Nut Milk

300ml fresh homemade almond milk (can be substituted with cashew or any other nut milk)

2 Medjool dates, pitted (or 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

small pinch of black pepper

pinch of grated ginger – fresh is best (optional)

Notes:
Black pepper enhances the absorption of Turmeric!

To make the Golden Nut Milk:

Blend all ingredients together in your high-speed blender for about 30sec. I recommend a Vitamix to achieve a wonderfully smooth texture.
