This Golden Turmeric hot chocolate includes chocolate, many warming spices and some heavy hitters in the world of anti-inflammatory ingredients; namely manuka honey and turmeric.

Turmeric is a spice that’s been used for centuries by ancient cultures to promote better health due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties and it’s the ability to support the immune system. We have added a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of the turmeric – don’t worry, you are not sacrificing taste for nutritional health as the cocoa, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne and nutmeg balance out the pepper. Additionally, avocado oil is included as the active compound in turmeric is fat-soluble, meaning it needs fat to be absorbed by the body. This hot chocolate, poured into your favourite mug while you read a good book, you will feel golden from the inside out this winter.
