SUBSTITUTIONS FOR TURMERIC LATTE
Fresh Ginger & Turmeric: I haven’t tried making this recipe with dried ginger or turmeric. I would try maybe doing 1/4 teaspoon of each but I’m not sure how it will taste
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is optional but recommended. Read our post Is Thrive Market Worth It to find out why we love their service for spices!
Dates: You can also sweeten this recipe with honey or maple syrup. Try 1/4 teaspoon and add more to taste.
Almond Milk: You can make this with regular dairy milk, coconut milk or other non-dairy milks.
Black Pepper: Black Pepper is highly recommended. A compound in pepper helps with curcumin absorption from the turmeric
Collagen Peptides: Collagen is totally optional and not necessary!
This turmeric ginger latte tastes so good and is a yummy drink that is both healthy and delicious!

Just made this for the first time. Wow, so good!! Tastes like a barista drink! I didn’t have any fresh turmeric on hand so used 1/2 tsp ground turmeric and it turned out great. Will have this on a regular rotation, thank you!
Used this recipe to make a turmeric latte for the first time and loved it!! I was happy Liz uses fresh turmeric and fresh ginger instead of powdered – I feel like there’s more nutrients to be had from the fresh stuff! Plus I had had both in the freezer for so long and finally was able to use them. Anyways it was great! Very warm and spicy (in a good way). I added a little more cinnamon than was called for but super goof! 100% would make again!
So happy you liked it! It’s my favorite cozy drink this time of year!
This is my new Fav! Didn’t have a date , so blended with low carb vanilla protein powder, and purée over ice. OMG! I may have this for breakfast everyday!
I’m so glad you liked it, Deb!! I’m totally trying it with the vanilla protein powder!
This looks absolutely delicious. My wife has been sick for what seems like a month. This might be just what she needs. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Ben – hope she gives it a try!! It’s one of my favorite things to enjoy when I’m not feeling well!
Was surprised at how much I LOVED THIS. Will totally be making this again! Thanks for the latte inspo!
So glad you liked it, Heather!!
