Golden Milk Protein

By adding vanilla-flavored casein protein powder and omitting the honey, you can create a delicious, protein-packed golden milk that supports both overall health and muscle growth. Notes • Casein Protein: Casein is a slow-digesting protein that can help sustain amino acid levels, making it an excellent choice for muscle recovery, especially when consumed before bedtime. • Sweetness: If you prefer some sweetness without honey, consider using a natural, zero-calorie sweetener like stevia or erythritol. Benefits: • Anti-Inflammatory: Turmeric and ginger provide powerful anti-inflammatory properties. • Antioxidant: Turmeric and cinnamon are rich in antioxidants. • Digestive Health: Ginger supports digestive health. • Muscle Growth: Casein protein powder adds a significant protein boost, which is beneficial for muscle repair and growth. • Enhanced Absorption: Black pepper increases the bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric. • Healthy Fats: Coconut oil or ghee provides healthy fats that can aid in nutrient absorption.

Step 1

Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.

Step 2

Add Spices: Stir in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. If using, add coconut oil or ghee.

Step 3

Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add Protein Powder: Remove from heat. Let the milk cool slightly, then stir in the vanilla-flavored casein protein powder until fully dissolved. (Adding the protein powder to too-hot liquid can cause it to clump.)

Step 5

Serve: Pour the enhanced golden milk into a cup and enjoy it warm.
