Ingredients Highlights
Coconut milk contains 17 out of the 20 amino acids needed for optimal protein formation. It is particularly high in threonine, which is needed to protect the liver, central nervous system, and cardiovascular system.
Ginger is a potent aromatic herb and a good natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia to treat stomachache, diarrhea, and nausea.
Raw honey is a good source of many vitamins and is rich in antioxidants. Its antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve overall immune function.
Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens includes targeted nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 which enhance the bioavailability and potency of collagen.
Pumpkin spice blend – While lots of stores sell pumpkin spice (aka pumpkin pie spice) ready-made, it’s super simple to make your own from spices you may already have on hand. It’s usually made with a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, and allspice.
Over 5,600 research studies show turmeric – with its active ingredient curcumin – is clinically proven to help curb inflammation and support the body in maintaining healthy inflammation levels.
Walnuts are neuroprotective and support heart health. They are loaded with antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, molybdenum, and biotin.
Hi Leslie!
You can substitute coconut milk (from a carton not a can) and that will reduce a lot of the fat and calories ... or use lite coconut milk or a combination thereof. You can also add in a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a higher protein content. Enjoy!
This recipe seems like a lot of calories, carbohydrates, and fat, with very little protein. What would you adjust in this recipe to increase the protein, and cut the fat?
Thank you so much, I have been looking for a good golden milk recipe - this is it!
