Morning drinks; Hot chocolate and Turmeric oat latte

Mix your own warming drinks in no time at all! Start by making your own golden paste, it will most likely be a staple in your home ever after. I use it for everything from porridge and lattes to hummus and soups.

If you don’t have time - or nerves - to soak your cashews for the hot chocolate you can just use any plant mylk you like! Same thing with the turmeric latte, use your fave plant mylk, or try different ones or variation!
