3. Golden Milk Immune-Booster With Turmeric and Cinnamon, by Catherine McCord

Golden milk is all the rage now, but the truth is that people have been drinking them for centuries—and for good reason. Golden milk is basically any kind of milk with turmeric, black pepper, and fat—with the latter two ingredients increasing the bioavailability of turmeric’s powerful healing compounds. And we could all use more of that right about now! This delicious recipe is the creation of Food Network star and Weelicious founder Catherine McCord, who just authored a book of smoothies to make with the family, Smoothie Project.
