You can whip up this fabulous latte in a flash!
Spicy Ginger Latte
2 c hot water (or up to 4 c)
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
½ banana (optional)
2 pitted dates
¼ c hemp seed
¼ - ½” slice fresh turmeric (the recommended dose is ¼")
½” slice fresh ginger
½ Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
Dash of black pepper – this will increase benefits of
turmeric!
Blend all ingredients until smooth, and enjoy! (this is
under a minute in my Blendtec)
Enjoy 2 full mugs of
latte!
Spicy Ginger Latte happens to have no tea/caffeine, but you could easily use tea instead of water.
Fresh ginger and fresh turmeric are much milder in taste than their powder forms. Only use 1/4 tsp each of turmeric and an ginger if using powder.
Fresh turmeric can be found in some mainstream grocery
stores! Here in Cleveland, OH, we can find it at Heinen’s. Otherwise, head to an Asian market to get a year-long supply, probably for only $2-3/lb. Remember, you just need a ¼ inch slice
per day per Dr Greger. I think even at $10/lb, I got about 35 slices for $2.
Maybe it’s a project for another day, I encourage you to make your own pumpkin spice. Here's my recipe!
