I drink this when my energy levels are DOOKIE and I need something tasty. The vitamin C specifically helps with my immune system and energy, the milk has iron n calcium, the turmeric helps with my blood sugar, and it tastes delicious…Yeah! It’s all up to personal taste, but I’d do about 1/2 cup of pineapple, 1/2 cup of mango, like 5 or 6 slices of orange (no peel), and about 2 or 3 slices of lemon (also no peel), a pinch of both tumeric and ginger, and a cup or so of you choice of milk. I personally just chose coconut because yummy. The honey is to taste if you want it REALLY sweet.
This is true. If you really want the active ingredient (curcumin) working its magic on you, you both need to activate it with piperine (from black pepper) and ideally take a more bio available form of curcumin (like longvida or meriva). But if you don’t have access to those, you can still get some benefit if you consume a good amount of turmeric every day.
Oh absolutely, especially if you don’t use a sugar free coconut milk (which to be fair, the image I used is not a sugar free one), but sometimes it’s worth it in specific situations. As a type one diabetic, it’s honestly an “emergency snack” that I only drink every once in a while
