Nutritional Nugget - Cinnamon!

Cinnamon is not only delicious and has a ton of uses in cooking, baking, and topping foods, but it also has a long list of medicinal uses. Cinnamon helps stabilizes blood sugar and its healing properties come from the essential oils found in its bark. It is loaded with antioxidants, is known to reduce inflammation, improve sensitivity to insulin, and may fight against cancer. Research shows taking one to six grams a day also reduces LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) by seven to 27 percent! At Superfoods, we have a variety of options that include this super food! One is our Protein Cinnamon Almond Smoothie or smoothie bowl. You can add it to your coffee or tea. Plus, we can sprinkle it on any bowl or add it to any smoothie at your request. What a delicious way to increase the amount of cinnamon in your diet!
