What is Golden Milk?

Recipes and uses for golden milk have been around for thousands of years. It’s basically turmeric seeped in milk (in this recipe, we’ve used coconut milk instead of regular milk).

Deriving its name from the golden hue imparted by turmeric, golden milk has enjoyed a long history of medicinal use (due to the turmeric used in it) and serves as an excellent stand in for coffee or tea.

Keto golden milk jello adds an elegant dessert twist and a more substantial feel to this age-old comfort.

The Many Health Benefits of Turmeric…

Turmeric is a root, which looks a lot like a bright orange ginger root (for good reason, they are cousins).

Grown primarily in India, turmeric is the main component of curry and has been used in Ayurvedic practice for centuries.

Both golden milk jello and curry get that beautiful rich yellow color from turmeric’s active ingredient, curcuminoids. These have been the subject of much research.

Curcuminoids have been looked at for use in the treatment of arthritis, Alzheimer’s, respiratory problems, colitis, diabetes, pain, and even cancer. There are studies that link turmeric to anti-inflammatory benefits, and with no side effects noted, there appears to be little downside. (1) Dessert with a side of less creaky knees? Count me in!

We love the health benefits of turmeric so much we created our own Turmeric Soothe supplement.

Shortcuts and Options

On any given night, my biggest struggle with a recipe is not having all the ingredients, and not wanting to run to the store. You don’t need to give up on tasty keto desserts because you are out of time or out of an ingredient. This recipe is flexible and can be adapted to your time and taste.

Check out these alternative options:

• Gelatin conversion (approximate)
  1 packet powdered gelatin = 3 sheets gelatin = 1 Tbsp powdered gelatin (2)
• Need your jello to set quickly? Chill the mold or bowl you will be using
• For a tasty twist, leave out the jello entirely and have a warm spicy beverage
• Make this your own! You can change the amount of spice, add other spices, add more or gelatin and have Golden Milk Jello cubes, add less and have a creamy soft dessert.
