Other use for the Golden milk paste
Overnight oats:
Prepare 1 C of Golden milk latte and pour it in a Mason jar. Add 1/3 C of rolled oats (GF if needed) and 1 Tbsp. of roughly cut almonds (or any nut you like). Let it steep overnight. The next morning you can enjoy your oats cold or warm. Just add 1/4 C plant-based milk to make it soft and creamy. Top it with some fresh mango or banana slices (or any fruit you prefer). Add 1-2 Tbsp. of yoghurt (I like coconut yoghurt) and sprinkle a tsp. of hemp seeds on top. Enjoy!
Golden pancakes
