Golden milk is a traditional Indian turmeric milk used for reducing inflammation. The black pepper aids in activating the anti inflammatory effects of turmeric, and my addition of magnesium will relax your muscles and calm your mind. Pair this with a protein and vegetable as your carb side at dinner time, and you'll be sleeping like a baby
