Each spring as another camping season draws near, I find myself on the hunt for new gear deals, trail spots, and of course, trail food recipes! My ideal camping fare is healthy, filling, shelf-stable, and simple to make (after all, preparing to hit the trail requires enough prep already!). Homemade energy balls already tick all those boxes, but I was recently inspired to pack even MORE goodness into each tasty bite—with a little turmeric and chai spice.
When I discovered golden milk several years ago, I was immediately hooked. An Ayurveda-inspired drink that takes the spicy-sweet goodness of a chai latte and adds the powerhouse wellness benefits of turmeric? Yes please! I started making them so often, I decided to mix up a bulk batch of golden milk powder spice blend to speed up my prep times. The thing is, once I had a jar of golden goodness sitting ready on the shelf, I found myself adding it to other dishes as well: sprinkling it on yogurt, adding it to my rice cooker, baking it into oatmeal cookies… you name it! Finally, I got the bright idea to add a scoop to a batch of cashew butter protein balls, and a new camp-out favorite was born.Makes 10-12 balls
