- 1-inch piece peeled turmeric root (about ½ oz fresh, or can alternatively use 1 tsp ground turmeric)
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 cup ready-to-drink unsweetened coconut milk (the kind from the refrigerated section or carton, *not* canned)
- ½ scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder (optional)

Notes
- Feel free to use canned or homemade sweet potato puree for this recipe.
- The pinch of black pepper helps the body absorb the helpful compounds in the turmeric.
- This recipe uses the ready-to-drink coconut milk which is often sold in a refrigerated carton or shelf-stable carton. It is NOT the same as canned coconut milk. Canned coconut milk is much thicker, and higher in fat and calories.
- This recipe makes 2 medium servings or 1 large serving.
