I definitely love a cup of joe in the morning, but have also come to recognize that coffee everyday doesn’t jive with me. So, I decided to break up with my usual morning routine and mix it up so that I can still enjoy coffee sometimes, but also have other cozy morning cups. This Paleo, Whole30, Keto + Vegan golden milk latte is a creamy, cozy and satisfying caffeine free turmeric latte.
Cozy Start To The Day
Initially the thought of moving away from coffee everyday made me want to cry. Like curl up in a ball and rock and cry because how could life really ever be any good without coffee?? Ok, dramatic much? I know. But really, it was daunting to think of giving up coffee in the morning. I realized though, that what I actually love about my morning ritual is just having a warm, cozy cup of SOMETHING in my hand. Coffee is great, but there are lots of ways to have a satisfying mug in the morning, and this golden milk latte is a pretty good one!
All The Spices
If you scroll down and look at the recipe, you’ll notice I added a bunch of spices. You might be down with that, or you might be like what the heck is cardamom. Here’s the thing – you can totally play with the spices and try what you have on hand. I experimented a bit and this is the combo that I ended up liking most. But hey – you do you and figure out what YOU like best! Maybe start with this and tweak from there – some days I add more cinnamon, and other days I want a little more spice so I add more cloves. It’s fun to try different combos and come up with cozy concoctions.

Golden Milk Latte (Paleo, Whole30 + Vegan)
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk, (or other nut milk, cashew is great too)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- Pinch of cinnamon, (plus more for topping)
- Pinch of ground cloves
- Pinch of cardamom
- Sweetener, to taste, (optional, omit for Whole30 + Keto)
- 1 tbsp collagen, (optional, omit for Vegan)
- 1 tsp coconut butter, (or cacao butter)
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredient in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk to combine everything and then continue whisking occasionally until heated up. The top will get a little frothy when it’s heated through and the coconut butter will be fully melted.
- Pour in your favorite mug and enjoy!
Delicious! Friendly advice to closely watch your pot on the stove because it boils over quickly 🤦♀️
Hello. Would it be ok to only use coconut milk?
Yes, that would work just fine.
