    Bulletproof turmeric latte is a low carb, nutritious drink that helps you start your day right. It is loaded with fats and antioxidants that boost the immune system and is nutritious enough to drink as a meal replacement!

    Bulletproof Turmeric Latte

    You might have heard of bulletproof keto drinks, more commonly bulletproof coffee, which is basically a nutritious coffee drink loaded with healthy fats that you drink instead of eating breakfast.

    During intermittent fasting, some may choose to drink bulletproof coffee or tea for breakfast as part of their fast. The goal is to keep your body longer in ketosis by preventing insulin spikes when carb-laden foods are ingested.

    Why You'll Love It

    I particularly like this drink because I can drink it hot or cold without sacrificing on taste. It makes a great bedtime drink as well due to the relaxing qualities of turmeric.

    I drink it quite often in the evening and one bonus benefit I have noticed is that it quenches any desire for nighttime snacking!

    Ingredients Used

    Bulletproof Turmeric Latte-ingredients labeled
    • Almond milk: This forms the base of the tea.
    • Spices: Turmeric powder, ginger powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, monk fruit sweetener, and black pepper. The black pepper added to the bulletproof turmeric latte is just a small quantity and it won’t make the drink spicy. But you can always add some more if you wish.

    How to make Bulletproof Turmeric Latte

    This tea comes together in just a few minutes.

    • Blend all ingredients in a high powered blender for 30 seconds to a minute.
    • To drink it cold, pour over ice.
    • To drink it hot, heat ingredients on the stove or microwave after blending.

    This recipe serves 1 and has 4 net carbs per serving.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • For a vegan or dairy-free option, you can leave out the heavy whipping cream and possibly add more coconut oil to increase the fat content.

    • You can substitute almond milk with coconut milk.
    • If you struggle with the taste of turmeric, add a pinch of salt to tone it down a bit.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I prepare bulletproof turmeric latte ahead?

    Yes, you can. I like to make it and leave it in my blender cup in the fridge. The next day, I just blend and pour in my mug and I'm out.

    To prep more than one day's serving at a time, you can measure out the dry ingredients together in a small bag and make multiple servings. When you’re ready to make it, just add the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and coconut oil, and blend together.

      I made this spice latte but instead of ginger powder, I put a crushed piece of ginger. It tasted divine, I was having brain fog which was instantly cleared up by this wonderful concoction. Thanks!!
