Want to Kill Night Time Munchies? Try my Turmeric Milk Latte Recipe
In the evening, an hour or so before bed, do you ever get the munchies? You've been good all day, but where you've been good, this has now led to night time hunger. Not helpful! Sometimes, seemingly especially at night time, the temptation to nibble on an unhealthy snack can be unbearable. This then ruins our calorie intake for the whole day, and we go overboard. How about this then...a health-busting tasty, filling, low calorie, dairy-free warm drink which kills any temptations and hunger pangs? Too good to be true? I challenge you to try my dairy free Turmeric milk latte recipe!
Firstly, the history...Turmeric belongs to the ginger family, and has been a common spice in India and the Middle East for thousands of years. It's lovely, bright orangey-yellow colour comes from curcumin.
It is well known for its an anti-inflammatory function where it can ease joint pain from arthritis and reduce swelling. But in addition to this, there are other health benefits; it is said to improve brain function and protect against Alzheimer's. It is supposed to prevent cancer cell growth and therefore help our bodies fight against the big C. It is claimed that it improves our capability to digest fats, improving digestion and lowering cholesterol.
Personally, I always add it to soups, stews, stir frys and even smoothies (here). If you ever feel a bit under the weather or in need of a warm, comforting drink; almost like a warm hug from inside, try this turmeric milk latte recipe out:
Ingredients
2 cups of almond, coconut or hemp milk, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, half a teaspoon of ginger or cinnamon (in the video I used ginger), 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey to sweeten (or stevia to cut the calories down), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or essence. You can also add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and froth it up to make it lovely and frothy if you want.
Method
Slowly and gently warm up the dairy-free milk of your choice. Add and stir in the turmeric, then add ginger or cinnamon. Add lthe maple syrup or honey and the vanilla extract/essence. Do not allow to boil and stir continuously.
Pour into a comforting mug, and enjoy! You can add an anise star to make it pretty!
