Golden milk is a turmeric-infused traditional Ayurvedic drink that’s the perfect beneficial alternative to your daily cup of coffee, especially while you're cleansing.

Other versions of Golden Milk often contain mucus-forming dairy and high-fructose sweeteners that are taxing on the body. We’ve made the traditional recipe Clean Program-friendly by swapping out the dairy and honey for coconut milk and coconut palm sugar.

The health benefits of Golden Milk include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that are used to soothe colds, headaches, sore throats, as well as joint and muscle pain.

We add a pinch of black pepper which can aid in your body’s ability to absorb curcumin, the anti-inflammatory compound found in fermented turmeric. 

Best of all, Golden Milk provides the nostalgic feeling of drinking warm milk before bed. Cozy up with a mug and steep in the nourishment.

Pro-tip: you can even use this as a delicious base for your Daily Shake.
