Here is a great way to consume some turmeric without even tasting it! I made it with about 1.5 inches of fresh turmeric root I was making up for not having it yesterday, and frankly, it was easier to throw that much in than to cut a piece. This recipe is that easy! Plus, if you can't taste 1.5 inches of turmeric root, I don't believe your taste buds would ever detect a quarter-inch portion in this drink.
This is great for breakfast, afternoon snack, or pre- or post-workout fuel! Plus, get 5 Dr Greger Check Marks.
The best part is probable that you get your daily dose of turmeric! Who cares, you ask? Me, nutritional science, anyone with inflammation, and anyone who doesn't want inflammation! Hello people, muscle soreness is often due to inflammation!
Regarding science, in recent years, more than 5000 medical articles have been published about turmeric's curcumin, and it may play a role in preventing and treating lung disease, brain disease, and a variety of cancers (p. 351 of How Not to Die).
Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk
2 Tbsp unweet cocoa
1 Tbsp ground flax
3 medjool dates, pitted (just split with hands) or 6 deglet noor
1/4 c peanuts (or hemp seeds for pure chocolate milk)
1/4" up to an inch of turmeric root (or 1/4 tsp turmeric powder)
Dash pepper
1 c cold water
1 c ice
Blend all but the ice until smooth (45 sec on my Blendtec). Add ice and blend once more (20 sec). Enjoy!
