I have been promoting her low carb and keto meal plans here for some time so I was so excited to receive a copy of her paperback. It is enormous, weighing in at a whopping 4lb, so it also works great for kitchen dumbbell curls.

Keto Turmeric Milkshake - the ultimate keto drink
This recipe is known as "the Fat-Burning Golden Milkshake" in The Keto Diet cookbook. The high fat content will keep you full for hours and hours. The turmeric, ginger and spices gives it a subtle kick and depth of flavour.
It is more nutritious than a regular sugar-laden milkshake, or that morning cup of coffee.
Keto turmeric milkshake - the amazing fat burning drink. Check-it-out!It is egg free, nightshade free, nut free (depending on the milk used) and vegan. You can use any dairy substitute, I chose to make mine with coconut milk, which thickens to a dreamy creamy milkshake because of the addition of the ice-cubes to the keto turmeric milkshake. But you could also use any milk substitute that you can tolerate, such as almond milk.
Keto Turmeric Milkshake - the recipe
In the picture above I used coconut milk to make my keto turmeric milkshake. I have also successfully made it using 50:50 coconut cream:water when I ran out of coconut milk (oops).
It can be enjoyed cold or heated gently. The keto turmeric milkshake will certainly warm you up, no matter which way you choose to serve it.

My brother recommended I might like this web site.
He was once totally right. This submit actually made my day.
You can not imagine just how a lot time I had spent
for this information! Thanks!
Janie Adams
I love milkshakes and this is my new favorite milkshake, the taste is something unique, the coconut oil also really adds an exciting taste to this shakes. Thanks for this.

Wow! At last I got a blog from where I be able to in fact get useful facts regarding my study and knowledge.

Made with unsweetened cashew milk, and also added ground pepper blend to help absorption of the Turmeric. Wasn't sure if I liked it with the first couple sips, but about halfway through the glass, I decided it was OK. I found myself wishing it was warm instead of cold. I'm used to drinking warm turmeric tea, so am definitely going to make this again, but the warm version, and I'm sure I will love it.
John Galt
According to the nutrition label... No fat, 7 grams of carbs, less than 2 grams of protein? It may be healthy, but this is NOT Keto!
Shannon Lockwood
Use coconut milk... you'll get between 35 to 45 g of fat... thats ALOT of fat! Definitely Keto!
Chris
Would love you to please give me the name/brand of coconut milk that has upto 45g of fat. Searched all over and find nothing close. If it exists I want it 😀
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
I have never found one that is 45g fat, the coconut cream I use is 20-25% fat.
Chris
Have looked and looked for a non/dairy milk that comes anywhere close to the recipe shown. I wanted high fat content low carbs but can’t find it. In fact coconut milk is low in fat, go figure!!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Coconut cream should be 20-25% fat.
Josephine cardenas
Just read this , and I am certainly going to try it. Especially to see if it calms my sweet tooth.
Sarah
Does anyone else have their coconut milk curdle with this recipe? I had no issues the first few times then had two batches curdle.... quite unpleasant.
anna
oh, I really like this recipe with the turmeric. Just pinned. -Anna
Laura Jason
I just tried your recipe and it turned out to be delicious. Its not only delicious but yummy and healthy too.
John
The use of Canola Oil in Leanne's book is very disappointing. It has stopped me from buying it.
Ricky Shearer
This is my new first time making this drink through reading all of the wonderful comments on its taste.
Christina
This was super yummy! I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk (2g net carbs per 8 ounces) and used Stevia to sweeten. I used 1 tbsp of cold-pressed, organic hemp oil and 1tbsp of coconut oil (the solidified kind, which is the only kind I had on hand… thought it might be weird but it was fine). Even my 8 year old liked it and demanded I make him one too! Stevia sometimes tastes weird in certain recipes, but in this one it really tasted like it had sugar in it! What an excellent recipe when I get a sweet craving!
Sarah
I used the coconut milk that comes in a can. Is this wrong? It tastes amazing, but seems really high on fat, as well as carbs. The recipe calls for 375ml coconut milk, which is basically the whole can.
Shannon Lockwood
I did the same... i had the same question.
Tracey C
This is my new first time making this drink through reading all of the wonderful comments on its taste.
I used my magic bullet for mine. It really stuck to the side of the cup. Is that normal??? I had a wonderful time scraping it all off, like left over cake batter as a kid, but was just wondering it that was correct. Also, I used 4 oz of Heavy Whipping cream and 4 oz water mixed as base. This was soooooo good. Thank you for posting for the world to enjoy.
Marilyn
Made shake this am but it did not get thick. Taste was great but would like thicker. Maybe more ice cubes?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Did you use coconut cream? True coconut cream os 20-25% fat so will thicken beautifully.

Sorry I am late, but better late than never! Dr called I am borderline too much sugar he said low carb diet and bingo- here I Am!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
Awesome Dr, stick with them and welcome 🙂
Anna
Super Tasty and Super Healthy, I am already in day two drinking the Keto Turmeric milkshake and I love it!!!
llc150Lora Lee Carver
Due to being on a strict low carb diet of no more than 20 grams of carbs per day,, I use part heavy whipping cream and part water instead. Nice. I love turmeric and its health benefits
Linda Zipf
I have made this for breakfast every day this week using unsweetened cashew milk and a little Virtue sweetener. I love the spices and will be having a warm cup before bed tonight. ❤️ all the Instagram posts/links and your blog!
Alika
I made mine with coconut milk,skipped the sweeteners completely and added some black pepper (to get all the goodness of the turmeric) and some grated tonka bean,which added the ultimate kick to it! It was supercreamy and delicious, I absolutely LOOOOOOVE this recipe,thanks for sharing!!! Will make this for breakfast a LOT now...
Suzanne Phillips
I really want to try this. Warmed up before bed sounds nice to me.
Bri
This "golden milkshake was so delicious"! Even my hubby loved it!
Shelly
I'm a little confused about the nutrition info: it says to use non-dairy milk, yet the nutrition panel says this drink has 6.9g total carbs, which seems like a lot. Where are all the carbs coming from? I use Almond Breeze, which only has 1g carb per cup, and SweetLeaf stevia, and by my count, the recipe adds up to just 1.5g total carbs, which is great. Just want to make sure I'm not unintentionally consuming hidden carbs. 🙂 Thanks for all the great recipes!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
The nutrition panel is from The Keto Diet cookbook. It doesn't state which milk they used, but I did mention that we need to calculate our own nutrition because all the milks and brands vary so widely. I used coconut milk which is higher in fat and lower in carbs. It was superb.
Goto hell
Then what you posted on nutrition is deceiving, you make your reader think they are only consuming 300 calories when in fact if they use a full can of coconut milk like you suggest they are really consuming over 600.
Rachel
ketogenetic diets are not calorie counters, they're macronutrient percentage based. chill, friend.
Elaine
I agree the nutritional info is confusing. Which ingredients is it including, and which does it not? If it includes everything but the milk, then where is the fat from the oil? Where are the carbs coming from? Also, I believe that many keto people like me are absolutely calorie counters. Calories are calories and it is very easy to go overboard on a high fat diet. Eating the right macros proportion will still make you gain weight it you are consuming more values than you burn - even if they are fat.
Elise
Elaine- Carbs also come from the spices. All spices have carbs along with the carbs in the type of milk is used. I would say, never really use the info given as you should always calculate for yourself. She mentioned to do your own calculation and that it was based on what she used.
Jennifer
I've been wanting to try something like this...just as soon as I find the Turmeric I bought!
Jessica
This is my pre-bed time snack! So good!
James McEvilly
Made it. Love it
Aileen D Lawlor
I drank this warm the other night, without sweetener and it was just fine 🙂
Morena
I'm having this every morning and it tastes really good. I've also tried the Turmeric paste, will have to make that again soon.I'd be thrilled with a cookbook to make my journey easier.
candybindidy
Turmeric milkshake so yummy.
Carolyn
I made this tonight, used unsweetened almond milk as that's all I had. I added a sprinkle of Natvia to sweeten it a little. I also added black pepper, as I heard this helps with the tumeric properties. Verdict: It was a lovely warm, silky drink. I hope it's as good for me as it tastes.
Nick Jones
Yes I was thinking about that, I also read that ground black pepper increases turmeric absorption by 2000%
Mary
I made turmeric latte once before and absolutely hated that recipe. I couldn't manage more than one sip. This is the first recipe I've found that actually tastes amazing! And no honey too!! Thank you so much ?❤️
Marija
I have been making a version of this called golden milk for some time now. It's supposed to help with inflammation. The taste is incredible. It's soothing and calming my intestines
Jamie
Yum!!
Cathy Riihl
I have several friends that make this LOTS of honey and I always decline when offered some. Now I can have some!!! Thank you. I ❤️ this!!!
Niki Heitor
Awesome giveaway! Thanks!! ♡♡♡
I love this recipe as well as so many others and would be amazing to win my very own copy of your Keto Diet cookbook
Marie
This recipe looks terrific! I'll try it today! Thanks for all the awesome suggestions!
Jessica Duhon Lyons
I added sweetened chocolate almond milk to mine and skipped sweetener, it was heaven!
Sanam Hana
Not sweet.
Patrick Sloane
If you're not adding freshly ground black pepper into the mix then you're not getting the bioavailability of the circumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, which kind of negates the other benefits of the drink, don't you think ?
Liz
Turmeric, in my opinion, has an odd taste. But this turmeric milkshake is delicious!
Beatrix
Try adding a few strands of saffron and a couple of cardamom pods for a classic Indian taste. 🙂 🙂
Sati
I highly suggest you use a turmeric "paste" (or just turmeric with added ground black pepper) with added ground black pepper to promote absorption of all of the healthful benefits of turmeric. Seems the body has trouble taking it up when eaten otherwise. Thanks for this wonderful milkshake idea, trying it out first thing this a.m.!
Alexandra Robertson
LOVE LOVE LOVE tumeric so I am whipping this up for breakfast today! It looks awesome.
Ina
Two in one drink. Warm milk to help with sleep and tumeric to help with weight loss. Now what more can a girl ask for??
Jane Jouraida
Love all your guides and recipes...wonderful resource for new starters and old keto hands!
Carolyn
I haven't made this yet, but I am going to, this evening, instead of my usual latte. It looks great, and I have fresh tumeric! I'm sure it will be amazing as in all recipes you provide.
Tabitha Stewart
Would love to try this one day, the colour scares me a little...
Christina Castle
Absolutely loving all of the yummies I'm finding here thank you for all you do.
Patricia
I have been making my own version with high fat cow's milk, (heated) and it includes a pinch of ground black pepper. I was told this is important but am not sure of the science! I take it to bed and it is very comforting as the weather gets colder.
Barb Steele
This is a great recipe to get turmeric into your diet.
Sheryl Sithole
Loving the milkshake. Replaced the coconut oil with butter and loved it ?
Tania
It is very very yummy and healthy
Amy Dawn
