I fell in love with turmeric when I found out about its powerful benefits. I remember my mom using it all the time in her cooking but I had no idea what it was and why we used it.

So long story short, when I found out about its wonderful properties I wanted to find a way to use it in my daily life. What better way than to make a paste and drink golden turmeric lattes and golden shots everyday?

This recipe was inspired by my friend’s mom. Over a conversation about morning routine my friend was telling me that they have a turmeric shot every morning that her mom makes. Brilliant, RIGHT!?

I wanted to notch it up a bit and added coconut oil and black pepper. Most of the time I warm up ¼ of a cup of my homemade almond milk, add 1 heaping teaspoon of this paste to it, and just take it like a shot. SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS! Lol

The other times I like to use it in my morning latte, which is also made with almond milk.

Why I Love this recipe:

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in trace minerals such as copper and magnesium (source)
This paste is antioxidant rich because of the turmeric and hence it protects the body against free radical damage
Coconut oil helps preserve this recipe and gives a rich creamy flavour
Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric
