MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day: Heavenly, indulgent goodness, this High Protein Golden Milk Smoothie makes the perfect snack or breakfast on the go. This 9 ingredient smoothie is full of flavor and perfectly spiced with turmeric, ginger and cinnamon. It’s easy to make, packed with protein, naturally sweetened with honey and dates plus has a no sugar option.
Ingredients:
-
- 1 cup coconut water, coconut milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup Nancy’s organic cultured whole milk cottage cheese
- 1 tsp ground organic turmeric
- 1 tsp ground organic ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground organic cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground organic cardamom
- 1/16 tsp freshly ground organic black pepper
- 1 to 2 tbsp raw honey or organic maple syrup – OR – 1/4 tsp liquid stevia
- 3 to 5 Medjool dates, soaked and pitted prior to blending {see Notes} – optional
- 2 cups crushed ice – made from filtered water
Directions:
-
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender.
- Blend until fully combined and smooth.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes:
-
- This is delicious topped with homemade coconut whipped cream or homemade whipped cream.
- If you’re using dates, add them to a glass jar or bowl and cover with filtered water. Allow to sit at room temperature and soak for about 15 minutes to 30 minutes, until soft – prior to making the smoothie.
- If you don’t care for the flavor of cardamom, by all means leave it out. I happen to love the flavor but it’s not for everyone.
- If your blender isn’t a high powered one, you might need to add an additional 1/2 cup of coconut water, coconut milk or milk of choice to get it to blend.
