There’s no denying it, lockdown has led to a lot of baking. People around the world are embracing their inner Martha Stewart’s in the kitchen, curating delicious meals and decadent treats. Now don’t get me wrong, while this may bring happiness to and otherwise turbulent, unsettling time… if we were to be real: all these baked creations are also not too kind on the waistline.

Packed with a punch of flavour and nutrients, global health brand Amazonia has enlisted Healthy Luxe to create sweet treats that are actually good for you.

Turmeric latté slice, packed with flavour and nutrients featuring the Amazonia Golden Latté, a blend of warming spice mix inspired by the Ayurvedic ‘Golden Milk’ tradition. Turmeric has a vibrant colour and full-bodied flavour and is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Combined with nourishing Ayurvedic spices Cinnamon, Clove and Ginger, it’s a delicious and comforting health blend.

This recipe is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. It’s also really quick and easy to make – the only time-consuming part is waiting for the cake to set.
