Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 8 oz servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz canned coconut milk organic, full fat, no added sugar
  • 8 oz almond or cashew milk unsweetened - check label for sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric 1 inch section of fresh peeled root works well too
  • 1/16 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 inch peeled fresh ginger root, minced about 1 teaspoon
  • pinch Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Brain Octaine Oil Bullet Proof brand
  • 1 teaspoon organic raw honey organic stevia may be used instead
  • 2 tablespoons protein powder collagen or whey

Instructions
 

  • Combine dry spices in a small dish or cup, and set aside.
  • Peel and mince or grate the fresh ginger root. You should have about 1-2 teaspoons worth of finely grated or minced ginger.
  • If you're using fresh turmeric root, peel it and set aside with ginger - it will easily blend so there is no need to chop or grate it.
  • Place the milks, Brain Octane oil, and honey into a blender and blend til evenly mixed. Add the spices and root(s), and blend again. You can also use a quart sized container with an immersion blender for this task.
  • Pour the milk mixture into a pot and heat gently on the stove, til steam is rising. Do not boil.
  • Remove from heat once hot but not boiling, and strain the mixture back into your blender. Let it cool for a minute or two, then add the protein powder and blend briefly til smooth. Serve warm.
  • If you like, you can skip the strainer and drink the milk with ginger in it, if minced or grated finely enough.

Notes

If you use fresh turmeric root, this is a softer root than ginger. It will blend easily with your immersion blender.
You can substitute any MCT oil for Brain Octane oil; this will reduce the antiviral and anti fungal activity, but will still deliver easy to absorb fats.
Don't add the protein powder into the pot on the stove - if over heated, it may coagulate and make the mixture lumpy, especially if you use whey powder! Best results are had if you blend this in after the mixture is cooled a bit.
