Favorite Snack



Apple, greek yogurt, and cinnamon

This has got to me one of my favorite snacks!  I love pink lady apples best, but enjoy with your favorite type of apple.  I like 0% Chobani Greek yogurt plain fat free.   Greek yogurt is and excellent source of protein, in comparison to regular yogurt.   Cinnamon is an amazing spice that tastes great!  Eaten on a regular basis, it can lower blood sugar and help regulate insulin levels.  When you have spikes in blood sugar will cause you to gain weight.  Cinnamon also creates a chemical reaction.  When cinnamon is consumed, your body actually reacts chemically to digest the cinnamon. This reaction actually speeds up the metabolism in order to offset the extra heat that is occurring as a result of the cinnamon. When the metabolism speeds up, you are burning more calories and you will lose weight more quickly.  In short, sprinkle cinnamon on lots of things, coffee, tea, and fruits, or enjoy this amazing spice however you desire.
