pinch rock salt
1 scoop vanilla whey protein / vegan protein
10ml date nectar / agave
150ml coconut milk
4 cubes ice

Turmeric is known as the King of spices due to its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. This drink is warming and nourishing.
½ teaspoon organic turmeric
1 tablespoon hot water
250ml milk of your choice
¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Maple syrup or honey, to taste
Make the organic turmeric into a paste using 1 tablespoon of hot water. Heat the milk in a pan and stir in the turmeric. We like almond milk. Add the cinnamon powder and maple syrup or honey if you would like a sweeter drink. Stir in and drink.
