Vegan Iced Golden Milk Latte

Enjoy the amazing benefits of turmeric in this cooling drink that’s perfect for summer. This wholesome Vegan Iced Golden Milk Latte is a delicious and easy way to include turmeric in your diet!

Who else agrees that turmeric just SCREAMS health? Maybe it’s the bright orange coloring, but I can’t help but feel refreshed when turmeric is involved. Now that warmer weather is finally upon us in Canada-land, it’s time to bring on the chilled beverages! Heck yes. Time for all the iced coffee, iced tea, and iced golden milk!

Golden milk is pretty much the best health trend/fad to come about lately. While typically served warm, who’s to say you can’t enjoy your golden milk iced, too?
