This coconut turmeric latte is a cozy way to start the day when I’m craving something a little different from my usual coffee. It’s quick to make, lightly spiced, and blends seamlessly into my morning routine with just a few simple ingredients.

I love starting my day with this coconut turmeric latte. Unlike most turmeric latte recipes, this one is made with coffee, which makes it an easy fit into my morning routine when I still want that familiar coffee flavor.
It’s a fun twist on bulletproof coffee, made with coconut oil instead of butter, plus turmeric and black pepper. The turmeric flavor stays subtle and mellow, mostly tucked behind the coffee, while the black pepper helps round everything out without standing out on its own.
All it takes is a mug of brewed coffee, coconut oil, turmeric, and black pepper blended until frothy. I pour it into a mug and sip it at home, or take it with me on busy mornings. It’s quick, simple, and a nice way to change things up without adding extra steps to the day.


Variations to try
If you’re more in the mood for a creamy coconut latte—sometimes called golden milk or turmeric milk—I use this recipe as a starting point. I’ll add about ½ cup of warm coconut milk, almond milk, or another non-dairy milk before blending. It turns the drink extra cozy and latte-like, though it’s no longer a bulletproof-style coffee.
Here are a few other easy ways I like to switch it up:
- Swap the brewed coffee for espresso, or use decaf so you can enjoy it any time of day
- Add a little sweetness with honey or maple syrup
- Stir in other warming spices like ground cinnamon, cinnamon sugar, ginger, or cardamom

I live in the tropical paradise island Sri Lanka and since we have spices in plentiful. I make similar recipes too which I will share in the near future. I would definitely love to try out your recipe, sounds deliciously fun! Although instead of coconut oil, I will try using fresh grated coconut kernel. Will let you know the outcome and taste. Thank you so much for your website and for sharing your lovely recipes dear Kristen! Cheers from sunny SL! 🙂
one of my fav coffees ….
I’m excited to try! I LOVE Tazo Tea’s “Tumeric Bliss” which also sounds weird, but is so good, so I am intrigued by this recipe! Will be perfect for a chilly morning.
So happy you like the recipe!!
Hi!!! LoVed the recipe, never tried with cinnamon before…
My roommate is hooked!!! =))
Yaaaa! That makes me so happy to hear!!
This is very tasty! I also tried adding a pinch of cinnamon, which was a great addition!
Oh I’m so happy you like the recipe! I was worried that no one would be daring enough to try such a strange sounding combo lol. 🙂
I’m so glad I tried this! It’s creamy and delish…and I wouldn’t even know turmeric was in it if I hadn’t put it there myself!
I love the creaminess of bulletproof coffee since day 1, but either the butter or the MCT oil has brought back my hot flashes. I’m not sure if Coconut Turmeric Latte will solve the problem, but I do think the turmeric will be more beneficial to me than the butter.
Thank you, Kristen!
It makes me so happy to hear you tried and liked the recipe! It’s amazing how well the turmeric hides in the coffee isn’t it?!
