Golden milk is one of the oldest comfort drinks on earth; Planet Paleo’s Turmeric Latte is the modern working version — traditional turmeric-and-spice golden milk built on a base of clean, grass-fed collagen. Earthy turmeric, warming cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, sweet vanilla and a pinch of black pepper, with 48% grass-fed bovine collagen hydrolysate doing the quiet structural work underneath. 225 g, around 25 servings.

Golden milk, upgraded

The traditional recipe — turmeric warmed in milk with spices — has been South Asia’s evening ritual for centuries. Planet Paleo keeps the flavour architecture intact (organic turmeric root, cinnamon stick, ginger root, cardamom pod, orange peel, vanilla pod, black peppercorn — the pepper being turmeric’s classical travelling companion) and swaps the base for coconut milk powder and hydrolysed collagen, making the comforting cup protein-packed and rich in amino acids rather than merely cosy.

What’s actually in it

Grass-fed bovine collagen hydrolysate (48%), turmeric root powder*, coconut milk powder*, cinnamon stick powder*, ginger root powder*, orange peel powder, vanilla pod powder*, cardamom pod powder*, black peppercorn powder* — asterisked ingredients certified organic. Free from dairy, gluten, wheat, soya and sugar; high in protein and paleo-friendly. Note for label readers: the collagen is bovine — this is a proudly animal-based product, the opposite lane from our vegan SunWarrior peptides.

How to make the cup

Whisk one 9 g serving (about four and a half level teaspoons) into 200 ml of hot water — or, for the properly indulgent version, into heated milk of your choice. Summer alternative: blend with cold milk and ice for an iced golden latte that makes an August evening feel virtuous. It also folds neatly into porridge and smoothies when the mug ritual doesn’t fit the day.

Who this cup belongs to

The unwind-ritual crowd — people who want their evening drink to contribute protein and amino acids instead of sugar; paleo and ancestral-eating households, for whom grass-fed collagen is a pantry staple; and anyone who loved golden milk already and is quietly pleased it now comes with a job. Currently in our Clearance corner, which makes trying it an inexpensive experiment.

Frequently asked questions

Does it taste strongly of turmeric? Earthy but balanced — the cinnamon, vanilla and orange round it into a latte, not a curry.

Is it caffeine-free? Entirely — which is why it owns the evening slot.

Vegetarian? No — bovine collagen; for the plant-based equivalent ritual see SunWarrior’s Coconut Matcha Latte peptides.

The pepper detail the tradition got right

Every classical golden-milk recipe finishes with black pepper, and its presence in this blend is fidelity rather than flourish — turmeric and piperine have travelled together in the tradition for as long as anyone has written recipes down. It’s the small tell that Planet Paleo formulated from the original rather than from a mood board. The other tell is restraint: nine recognisable ingredients, most of them certified organic, no sweeteners smuggled in — the sweetness impression comes from vanilla, orange peel and coconut doing honest work. A tin like that earns the counter spot beside the teabags, which is exactly where the 25 servings tend to disappear from.

How long does the tin last? A nightly-cup habit empties it in under a month; occasional-ritual households report closer to two.

Can I add a shot of espresso? The “golden dirty latte” is a legitimate café order by now — the spices and coffee coexist better than expected; evenings, obviously, keep it as designed.

Where does it sit vs plain collagen? Same protein backbone, different delivery — plain collagen hides in anything; this one IS the drink, which for ritual-driven people is precisely why it gets finished.
