Enriching Desserts & Cinnamon

I love eating dessert, I mean lets face it, who doesn't??? I don't think we should ever feel guilty around food,  I am a firm believer that when you are in alignment with your body and its needs there is no need for fad diets or negative feelings around food. Easier said than done, but I think working towards this should be the goal.

In the mean time, why not add some nutrition to your desserts?! It can be as simple as adding some ground linseeds to your ice cream or using more nutritious ingredients such as organic eggs, using raw sugar or natural sweeteners like stevia or agave, and using rice bran oil instead of vegetable oil. Simple huh?!

Need more convincing?? Check out this dessert----

Looks good huh??!!

Well the focus of this dessert is cinnamon. Cinnamon has been in the media recently as some smarty pants discovered it was excellent at controlling insulin levels- like this is new news??!?!?!

Eastern Medicine has been using Cinnamon for centuries to help regulate blood sugar levels, ease an upset stomach and improve circulation. Now that these benefits are being rediscovered cinnamon is available in tablet form in a therapeutic dose.

Living in the western world we can probably all use a little help with our insulin levels so why not try to get more cinnamon into our diets?!

Try my yummy, quick and easy CINNAMON recipe-

You will need:

Crush up the bar into sizeable chunks and layer in a parfait glass with generous sprinkles of cinnamon and dollops of yoghurt. Enjoy!!!!
