Golden Healing Piña Colada

When the weather is heating up why not cool things down with our refreshing gut healing Piña colada. Packed full of pineapple, banana, coconut and kicked up a gear with Golden Gut Turmeric Spice Blend - your taste buds and gut health sure is in for a tasty treat!

 

Pineapple contains a digestive enzyme called Bromelain which is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes work together to help your digestive system break down and absorb proteins from the foods you eat. Bromelain from pineapple may also assist with relieving stomach aches, heartburn and diarrhea. Bananas are a rich source of fructooligosaccharides, a prebiotic that feeds friendly bacteria in the digestive system. Prebiotics are important for improving the balance of gut flora in your digestive tract.

 

Lastly, all things coconut nourishes the digestive lining due to its electrolytes and healthy fats, improving gut health and may assist in preventing conditions like IBS.

Golden Latte

A nourishing, frothy and warming drink to add to your morning, midday or evening rituals. This latte can also be chilled in the refrigerator and consume later as a refreshing cold milk drink replacement.

Cooking time : 5 minutes

 

Ingredients

1tsp of Golden Gut Turmeric Spice Blend (GGTSB)

1tsp of raw honey (optional)

250ml (1 cup) of Almond, Oat or Rice mylk

 

Utensils

1 small saucepan

1 tea spoon

1 whisk

Your favourite coffee mug or teacup

Stove top or heating element of some description

Method

1. In a small saucepan place the GGTSB, honey and mylk into a saucepan.

2. Heat ingredients slowly on a medium temperature setting whilst whisking ingredients together (you can use a spoon, however, a whisk will make your latte nice and frothy.

3. Then once mixture reaches boiling point, turn the temperature back and let simmer for a further minute (this allows the oils from the spice mixture to really penetrate the mylk). At this stage you will notice a wonderful aromatics scent spreading throughout the house!

4. Then pour slowly straight into your favourite coffee mug or teacup - no need to strain as any spice content that does not dissolve will sit nicely at the bottom of the saucepan or your mug/teacup (you may wish to drink this too in order to get more of the beneficial spices into your system).

5. Lastly, sit back, relax and enjoy the golden goodness.
