Spicy Coconut and Almond Milk Tea
Nuts are one of the best foods you can have during winter as they boost metabolism. Almonds contain lots of healthy fats and fiber and are low in calories, which is great if you’re trying to lose weight. Combined with spices, almonds help warm up the body and increase immunity levels as well.
Coconut milk contains anti-inflammatory and healing properties, a boon during that time of the year when joint and knee pains can get aggravated because of the cold weather.
