Black Pepper Turmeric Latte

Happy Saturday friends!

We’re currently having a lazy morning that’s consisted of smoothies and Shark Tank… a.k.a our Saturday morning “cartoon.” It’s dark and drizzly outside, so we’re likely not leaving the house anytime soon.

I thought I’d take a second to pop in and share this super simple turmeric latte recipe. I posted it on Instagram earlier this week, but I thought I’d share it here too. Earlier this year, I stopped drinking *so much* coffee (not that I feel there’s anything wrong with coffee!) and started drinking more matcha. This week, I’ve moved onto this herbal tea turmeric latte.

It’s lightly sweet, nicely spiced, and creamy from the combination of coconut milk and almond milk. I love it with a grind of black pepper which sounds a little weird but “they” say that the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are activated when combined with black pepper, which is why Indian curries contain turmeric and also black pepper. I was scared at first, but I think it adds such an interesting spicy kick… and this is coming from the girl that used to despise pepper. Let me know what you think if you give it a try 🙂

Tea-cheers to a good weekend!

If you’re looking for more cozy drinks, try this superfood hot chocolate or this chai latte!
