Banana Smoothie with Cinnamon

Banana Almond Cinnamon Shake

Forget the coffee or energy drinks.  This is a delicious shake in the afternoon when your energy may be getting low. Simple to make and full of goodness. Cinnamon is a known tonic for the digestive system.  It also has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, possesses cancer-fighting components and helps stabilize blood sugar.  Add it to your daily diet, whenever possible, for your overall health.
