Notes
I usually buy my turmeric powder in bulk as opposed to small bottles as it is less money per ounce that way, so I would recommend you do the same if you eat a lot of turmeric 🙂
Since most chocolate chips have refined sugar, you can opt for cacao nibs, chocolate chunks of your favorite sugar free chocolate bar, or just leave it out 🙂
