Tumeric Latte

October 26, 2020
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Two cups of turmeric latte with cinnamon sticks.

Cozy up with a good book or Netflix with this warming, anti-inflammatory turmeric latte.

I usually drink turmeric team in the winter, but OMG I recently started drinking this latte at night and it has been a game-changer. I usually get a little hungry before bedtime or start craving something sweet. Tea is helpful in curbing those cravings, but this turmeric latte is great for nights (or days) when you want something a bit RICHER (but not too rich that its dessert). Making this latte has now become my favorite way to unwind. I think of it as my “bedtime tonic”.

This latte is sweet, spicy, warming – perfect for these chillier fall nights. It is also low in fat and sugar.

Benefits of Tumeric

There are so many great benefits to turmeric. This spice is:

  • A natural anti-inflammatory
  • Helps boost the immune system
  • Has been shown in in lab studies to have an effect on cancer cells

How to Use Tumeric

You can buy the full turmeric root or the powder (I find it easier to use the powder). Tumeric has a brilliant yellow color that will permanently stain and will also stain your hands for a a few days, so be sure to use a cutting board and gloves when working with fresh turmeric. Also, regardless of whether you used fresh or powdered, be careful not to spill something with turmeric in it. I haven’t yet figured out how to get out the stains…

Make sure whenever you consume turmeric, to combine it with a touch of black pepper. The key compound in turmeric is curcumin which unfortunately is not well absorbed in the body. Black pepper has a compound called capsaicin which helps to enhance the the absorption of the curcumin in the turmeric and unlock turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits!

Let’s shape a different view for our daughters. So many of us grew up in a generation that taught women to equate thinness with worth. To measure progress by the number on the scale. And that informed how we ate, how we exercised. It’s taken me years to unlearn that. Now, I want my daughter to grow up watching a woman celebrate what her body can DO. I want her to see me lift heavy things. Fuel my body. Take care of myself. Get stronger as I get older (to "cook" as she would put it 🤣) Not because there’s anything wrong with being thin. But because I want her to know that her body was never meant to be a measure of her worth. I want her to grow up knowing that STRONG is beautiful, too. Maybe changing the conversation for the next generation starts with changing the way we talk about—and treat—our own bodies.

If you're successful everywhere else in your life, except for your health feels harder than it should, this is for you! The habits that helped you build your career and manage a full life don't always translate to your body. You don't need less ambition.

Confession time! How many diet and exercise plans have you purchased that have fallen apart after one week, or when your kids get sick, or when you have a crazy end of quarter? The problem is that most wellness plans we're not built built for the woman who is balancing family, career and her own wellness. Your health needs a strategy. One that doesn't fall apart by Wednesday. Follow @livepowerfullyco for less wellness noise, more of what actually works in a stronger way to do midlife. Build a body that is as strong as a life you've built.

For years, I was doing with so many high achieving working women do; managing the career, the kids, the calendar, the workouts, the meals and everything in between. I thought I was handling it, and I didn't realize how stressed I was until one of the stressors was gone. The fact was, I was not handling it. I was ignoring it. We talk a lot about what women over 40 should add to get healthier. But your body also needs opportunities to recover. We can't eliminate stress. But we need to have a health strategy that accounts for stress instead of pretending it isn't there. That's a big part of how I think about health for high achieving women 40+. If you're doing all the things "right" but still aren't showing up like the powerful woman you are, DM me REBUILD. I'll tell you more about how I help them and figure out what their body actually needs.
