Golden Turmeric Milk

It’s no secret that I love turmeric. I use it in my Cheesy Veggie Tofu Scramble, Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream, my go-to Cheese Sauce, Fully Loaded Vegan Mac n’ Cheez, and even a Turmeric Face & Tooth Mask. It’s such a powerful antioxidant that consuming turmeric on a daily basis can aide the recovery of brain function and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, lower blood sugar, curb depression, prevent heart disease, and prevent & treat cancer. No wonder it’s known as “Holy Powder” πŸ™

Enter Golden Turmeric Milk. This creamy yellow liquid is a great way to incorporate turmeric into your day, especially if you like warm, cozy drinks β˜•οΈπŸ΅

I actually posted a slightly embarrassing recipe for Turmeric Milk over two years ago. It was one of my first recipes, when I was still sometimes using my phone to take photos for the blog! Check out my fancier, updated version of this drink and give it a try when you want something that is both healing and filling.

Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream

turmeric persimmon nice cream

Summer is just around the corner! Unless you live in South Texas like me, in which case, it’s summer year round πŸ”₯

But I’m okay with that because it means it’s always nice cream weather. I’m still going strong 2+ years into my obsession with banana nice cream and all it’s versatility/deliciousness. I used to make chocolate peanut butter nice cream all the time and I still love it, but lately I’ve been coming up with new flavors 🍌🍨

Enter Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream. There’s something about persimmon that kicks up the nice cream game like a million notches. Persimmon adds natural sweetness, a gorgeous bright orange color, and a creaminess that I can’t even explain but it’s amazing. Bananas are one of nature’s most perfect foods and lends more natural sweetness as the creamy base for this recipe. Finally, ground turmeric balances out all the sweetness from the persimmon and banana, adds to the vibrant color, and contributes antioxidants and other healing properties.

Blend this dish up in just a few minutes, then top with coconut flakes, fresh fruit, and coconut whipped cream. I love having this Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream for lunch, a snack, dessert – I’ve even had it for breakfast! Aside from being sweet and creamy and A++ all around, it gives you a ton of energy to go about your day.

Healing Tropical Turmeric Smoothie

March 27, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

This smoothie is my everything ✨

Not only does it contain plant based healing properties, but it’s refreshing and delicious, and the beautiful bright orange color doesn’t hurt either! Smoothies have become part of my daily diet and I feel like 5 million percent better than my pre-smoothie life. Humans are so used to eating processed foods, even the healthier versions of them, that sometimes eating basic raw fruits & vegetables can be a daily struggle. I know that even if I slip up and eat a whole bag of potato chips or something fried or containing gluten, I feel better knowing that smoothies got my back and I don’t have to have a meltdown because I ruined my day with junk food.

Enter the Healing Tropical Turmeric Smoothie. A coconut based smoothie with healing turmeric and ginger, banana and peaches for natural sweetness, and carrots for fiber and a pop of color.

Check out my very first recipe video for this easy to make smoothie! I’m sure there are tech savvy 10 year olds out there that could create a better video than this, but it was super fun to make and I’m sure my video skills will improve from here on out. Let me know what you think!

Cheesy Veggie Tofu Scramble

May 12, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

I don’t know how you feel about breakfast, but for me, it’s verrrry important. Not only am I ravenous when I wake up in the morning, but I definitely notice a difference if I don’t eat anything. I’ll get light headed, have trouble focusing, hunger pains, headaches, procrastinate, and can be extremely agitated and grumpy. None of that is worth skipping breakfast!

That’s what I love about this recipe, other than the fact that it tastes super yummy, is that it’s full of nutrients to keep me going the rest of the day… or at least until lunchtime πŸ™‚
