Golden Milk Lovers, This is the Smoothie for You!

If you haven’t tried Golden Milk or Turmeric Tea yet, you’re missing out! The vibrant flavors in this smoothie bring the goodness of Golden Milk into a convenient and delightful form.

Golden Milk is a traditional Ayurvedic drink known for its anti-inflammatory properties, mainly thanks to turmeric and ginger. Typically made with creamy milk or coconut milk, it’s often blended with ghee, coconut oil, or grass-fed butter and a sweetener. It offers a smooth, creamy, and spicy sip that feels like a warm hug.

Golden Milk is Known for Promoting Health and Vitality

This delightful drink is so smooth and creamy, it’s hard not to love! During colder months, I often enjoy it warm, but when summer hits, this high protein Golden Milk smoothie becomes my go-to treat.

Get ready for a flavor explosion! Each ingredient in this smoothie not only tastes amazing but is beneficial for your body too.

Ingredients to Make Your Smoothie Delicious and Healthy

The stars of this smoothie are spices—turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom—along with an unexpected yet extravagant ingredient: whole milk cottage cheese!

Believing in the benefits of whole foods, I encourage you not to shy away from healthy fats. The notion of fat-free foods has been misleading. What’s truly nourishing comes packed with healthy fats, like ghee, coconut oil, and, yes, whole milk cottage cheese!

Whole milk cottage cheese is a fantastic option filled with nutrients that contribute to your well-being while enhancing the smoothie’s protein content—14 grams per serving!

Utilize Live Cultures and Protein for Extra Goodness!

The creamy whole milk cottage cheese not only packs in protein but also brings beneficial probiotics to the table!

What’s better than indulging in a delicious smoothie that also promotes gut health? Sounds like a win-win!
