This is really good! I've put it on chicken, kale, broccoli, and could pretty much eat it with a spoon.

The recipe I have for this in The Plan's book states this recipe's serving is 1/8 cup, which for a (almost) 14 oz can of coco milk less than 1 oz per serving, or about 7 servings per can - not 4.

Yeah...but I'm not very good at measuring 2 tablespoons. Plus, I think I reduce it too thick. ;-). Thanks for stopping by.

I just love turmeric in everything. Delicious, colorful and extremely healthy. Never tried it with coconut, but the idea of it combined with ginger and cayenne intrigued me a lot. I will give it a try right away.
