I’ve already mentioned how much I love turmeric and have included lots of turmeric recipes on the blog already. Today is the perfect anti-inflammatory recipe: a warming blend that can be served cold or warm. It provides anti-inflammatory benefits, iron and magnesium.The cashews make it high in fat but an extremely nutrient-dense drink.
A note about Ingredients
- You can use store-bought cashew milk or make your own (note, if you do this avoid ones with carageenan added as this can irritate the gut. I’d recommend Plenish or Rude Health)
- If buying them then stock up in bulk. I have mentioned bulk buying nuts in my Poundland haul post and That Protein also do bulk cashews (you can get 20% off with my code here) I then use my trusty Nutribullet and it does a decent job of blending them if they’re presoaked (which will not only make them easier to blend but also easier to digest as it breaks down the phytic acid- which can interfere with absorbing the amazing benefits of cashews.)
- Adding black pepper helps the absorption of turmeric and shouldn’t effect flavour. Always use organic turmeric; you can buy this is supermarkets but I recently started using Lucy Bee’s turmeric it’s organic, comes from one source but also is so much easier to use than a sprinkle version (you can therefore just scoop out a spoonful directly making much less mess and making it easier for smoothies!)
A delicious anti-inflammatory nutrient dense drink.

I spotted a turmeric latte not long ago and I debated whether I wanted to try it or not. I like turmeric in curries but am worried I’ll find it off putting to give it a go with milk. Cashew nut milk doesn’t sound bad actually 🙂 Thanks for sharing with #FreeFromFridays
I’ve only recently started to learn about the benefits of turmeric and am keen to give this a go. My issue is time and ‘making from scratch’!
I love the recipe of turmeric milk. I sleep better on it to among all the health benefits included.
Especially when you have rheumatoid arthritis. This is a good on to go!
Thanks for sharing!
I use turmeric not only for my keto diet but also to prevent inflammation that are occurring in the body.
Turmeric is used in the preparation of Ayurvedic formulations as well as home remedies. Turmeric has many bioactive properties which are effective against infection, and cancer, and also as an antioxidant agent. T
This was such a comforting and beautifully explained post—I really enjoyed reading about turmeric “mylk” and how it can be both nourishing and soothing. It’s amazing how something so simple can have such a powerful impact on overall well-being.
I especially love how you’ve highlighted the blend of ingredients and their benefits. Turmeric, along with spices like ginger and cinnamon, is known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help support immunity, digestion, and overall health . It really shows how traditional remedies still have so much value today.
The idea of having a warm cup before bed also makes so much sense. Not only is it calming, but it can also support better sleep and relaxation, which is something many of us struggle with in busy daily life .
What I liked most about your post is how approachable you made it—it doesn’t feel complicated or intimidating, just a simple, mindful ritual that anyone can try at home.
