I love having healthy food that feels like I’m indulgent in a treat! This smoothie is great for an afternoon snack, it s filling, tasty and a great way to avoid those afternoon sugar cravings. One of the reasons for this is the cinnamon in the smoothie. Cinnamon is a wonderful spice because it’s effect of blood sugar. Cinnamon can assist in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and prevent blood sugar lows which lead to those cravings for sugar laden treats!
