Tips and Variations

For convenience, swap espresso for strong instant coffee. You can also use decaf coffee or chicory coffee for a low-caffeine option.
Add black pepper or coconut oil to increase your body's curcumin absorption and enjoy the potential benefits of turmeric.
Blend it with some protein powder to increase your protein intake, perfect for post-workout.
Stir in some cashew butter or coconut cream to make the drink more luxurious and velvety.
Experiment with spices. Add ground ginger for extra warmth or nutmeg for a cozy twist.
On warmer days, pour it over ice for a refreshing golden latte.
If you're dairy-free and vegan, use creamy plant-based milk like almond, coconut, or oat milk.
For a low-sugar diet, reduce the amount of maple syrup, skip it entirely, or replace the maple syrup with stevia.
