Golden Milk Frappuccino – a healthy, naturally sweetened frappe with anti-inflammatory benefits | Paleo + Vegan 

Quick note for anyone coming from Pinterest: When I was making the pinterest graphic to go along with this post I completely blanked and listed this as being a FODMAP friendly drink. Dates are certainly not low FODMAP and coconut milk can be trouble too so this isn’t suitable for anyone needing to follow a low FOMDAP diet. I’ve updated the pinterest graphic to remove the low FODMAP wording, but I can’t do anything about the one that’s circulating around Pinterest. Very sorry about that! If you would like to make this more FODMAP friendly you can replace the coconut milk with one of your choosing and use 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup to sweeten your drink. 

Move over Unicorn Frappuccino – there’s a new non caffeinated frappe in town.

(Wow that sounded lame.)

Now that the summer is slowly creeping in my M.O. is basically to eat and drink all the frozen things from now until when the pumpkin spice lattes start rolling in. We’ve got a very short window of opportunity for sun here in our little part of the would so I’ve got to make sure I fit it all in when I can.

Starting with this sweet, light, creamy, frothy perfection that is the golden milk frappuccino. Join me!

All you need is about 5 minutes & a decent blender to make this frappe. Since there’s no coffee you don’t need to wait for anything to brew or cool down.

This is made up of your essential star ingredients:

Turmeric
Coconut Milk (or another milk of your choice)|
Dates
Ginger
Cinnamon
& Black Pepper (it helps enhance the bioavailability of the anti inflammatory components in turmeric)

Just blend together until the dates and turmeric are fully blended and then add in the ice. Once you’ve reach your desired consistency top it off with a little dollop of coconut whip cream and a dash of cinnamon.

Total decadence, my friends.

Enjoy this in the morning on a hot day or end your night with a little frosty indulgence. Since there’s no caffeine found here you don’t need to worry about bouncing off the walls all through the night. And hey! If it’s too cold for this you could always make a hot version instead.

No matter what it’s a win!
