Have you ever tried "Golden Milk?" Golden milk, also known as Turmeric Milk is a native drink from India.  It is creamy and spicy in flavor and is known for being anti-inflammatory.

I have made drink this many times and usually will drink it right before going to bed.  It can be served warm (great for chilly weather) or iced in the warmer months.  Golden milk is an excellent beverage choice for the cancer patient in your life.  Often, cancer patients will receive nutrition and dietary advise from their family and friends.  Here are some of the things I heard during my diagnosis...

"You should never eat soy again."

"Have you reduced sugar because you know it feeds cancer."

"You should drink this miracle tea I've heard about."

"Eat whatever you want."

Now, I am sure these comments were well intended but not helpful and or practical.  If you want to share nutrition information with the cancer patient in your life wait until they ask you for it. The best thing you can do for them during their treatment is offer to make a recipe and bring it for them to try.

Here is a video to my favorite Golden Milk recipe by the Minimalist Baker.

5-Minute Vegan Golden Milk

There are many options for purchasing pre-made Golden Milk mixes however, Minimalist Baker also has a recipe for a Golden Milk mix which would be an amazing thing to bring (with instructions) to someone in treatment.
