Apple Cinnamon Milk Shake

 Cinnamon and Apple are such an unbeatable combination not only in muffins, cakes and pies. But also in milk shakes. Cinnamon is such a wonderful spice and gives a lot of flavor to the food and also with loads of health benefits. Recent studies show that half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day has shown to significantly reduce blood sugar levels, LDL(bad) cholestrol and total cholestrol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. You can also soak a table spoon of chia seeds in 3 Tbsp of water and add the gel to this milk shake to stay full for a longer period of time and also to fortify with omega 3 fats to this calcium and vitamin rich milk shake.

But if you are on a low sugar and low carbohydrate diet plan, this milk shake will not work for you. Instead go for Almond Butter Chocolate Milk Shake or Chocolate Truffle Shake. Green apple would be the best bet for people on a  low sugar diet because of its low fructose content. If you are going in for organic apple there is no need to peel the apple otherwise peel them to avoid the wax.
