Golden Turmeric Elixir - Vegan recipe hero image

Every time I make this Golden Turmeric Elixir, I’m reminded of the first time I discovered turmeric’s incredible healing properties.

A friend shared a similar recipe with me during a chilly winter afternoon, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

It feels like a ritual now—taking a moment to whisk everything together and savor the warmth.

I make it whenever I need a little boost or just want to feel good about what I’m putting in my body.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Turmeric is such a powerhouse of anti-inflammatory goodness, and adding black pepper really helps your body absorb it better. You can definitely swap out almond milk for oat, soy, or whatever you have on hand—just keep it unsweetened if you want to control the sugar content. I’ve even made it with coconut milk for a creamier texture!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge, and it stays fresh for a few days. Just shake it up before you heat it!
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, holiday flavor.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of maca powder for an extra energy boost.
  • If I want to make it a bit more decadent, I add a splash of coconut cream on top.

Storage & Freezing

This elixir is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave—give it a good stir before serving!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh turmeric instead of powdered?

Absolutely! Just grate about an inch of fresh turmeric, but be careful—it's super staining!
