You have probably heard about turmeric, the root that has been revered for outperforming many pharmaceuticals in helping to prevent some major chronic diseases.

Yet, aside from eating curry based foods where turmeric provides that bright yellow color and distinctive taste, very few people know how to incorporate it into their daily lives to continuously reap its bountiful anti-inflammatory qualities.

Here are recipes for 2 drinks, one cold and one hot. The refreshing Golden Colada is a tropical smoothie that’s good for breakfast, as a snack or a treat. You can enjoy the Golden Latte hot and frothy at any time as well, though I especially like it at night before bed or as a dessert treat at the end of a long day.

Each drink is paired with ingredients that enhance the absorption of the turmeric as well as provide additional well-being. Plus, they are just plain delicious together!

1. •Black Pepper – The addition of black pepper to any dish or drink with tumeric enhances the absorption and bioavailability of curcumin, which is the active ingredient that makes turmerics amazing benefits so special.
   

2. •Coconut Flakes – Coconut meat contains natural oils that help with the absorption of curcurmin in the body.
   

3. •Pineapple – The natural digestive enzyme in pineapple, bromelain, helps to break down foods and absorb additional nutrients.
   

4. •Maca – This superfood is considered an adaptogen, which helps the body manage stress and support hormone balance in women and men.
   

5. •Ginger – This root is known for its ability to soothe the stomach, reduce inflammation and boost immunity.
