English Turmeric Milk (1 Cup)

Use an unsweetened base such as plain soy milk or unsweetened almond milk, and avoid sweetened, flavored, or condensed milk.

Make the drink without honey, sugar, syrups, dates, or sweetened turmeric-milk powder; use vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, or a non-sugar sweetener if needed.

Have it with or immediately after a balanced meal rather than by itself, especially one containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat.

Add a small amount of protein or fat to slow absorption, such as unsweetened Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or a small handful of almonds.

Reduce the serving size and drink it slowly; try half your usual portion and compare your glucose response.

Check the product label for total carbohydrate and added sugars, then repeat testing under similar conditions to identify the amount you tolerate best.
