Notes

  • The calorie count provided is an estimate including honey without honey will decrease (KCL).
  • Boost Absorption: Always include a pinch of black pepper — it enhances curcumin absorption (the active compound in turmeric) by up to 2,000%.
  • Optional Sweeteners: Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or omitted entirely for a sugar-free version.
  • Fresh vs. Ground Spices: You can use fresh turmeric root (about 1 inch grated) instead of ground turmeric for a stronger flavor and potency.
  • Cinnamon Type Matters: Ceylon cinnamon is preferred over Cassia as it's safer for regular consumption due to lower coumarin content.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Combo: This blend is known to reduce bloating, support liver function, and aid weight loss as part of a balanced diet.
