This is weird. I literally never thought I'd ever review any product that resembles a Turmeric Latte. To be honest, I don't really know what's going on. I'm drinking as I review as I think that might be the best way to capture how I fee about this drink.
Firstly, Turmerlicious is NOT soluble. Therefore the mixture will settle at the bottom of your cup, you may want to keep a spoon or stirrer handy to keep mixing it up as you drink. Instant impressions: It tastes nothing like I expected. I did, in all honesty, expect it to taste a little bit like curry. Turmeric is a big ingredient in curry and my food so I naturally associate it with savoury foods or drinks.
Flavour: The flavour of this one is quite odd. It does have the strong turmeric flavour, but the vanilla gives the drink an added sweetness making it more enjoyable and easier to drink. I think with the expansive amount of benefits you get with adding turmeric to your daily diet this would be a nice drink to have as a mid afternoon brew, rather than a first thing in a morning kind of drink.
The texture is odd and something to get used to though. I'm not really used to 'bits'. I don't like bits in my orange juice, my yoghurt or anything that is supposed to be liquid. So having all the floaty granules in the drink is a little had dot get used to and gives the drink a different texture. But to be fair if you can look past that, because you will, it is a really nice and different drink to try.
I can't wait to try the other flavours such as Choco, Chilli Choc and Ginger!
