How to Make Cinnamon Milk For Weight Loss and Healthier Skin



Having a glass of warm milk before going to bed is an incredibly relaxing and healthy routine, and if you add cinnamon to it, you will boost the healing qualities of the drink.

Cinnamon milk is one of the healthiest beverages you can consume daily. This spice has been popular for centuries, dating as far back as ancient Egypt, and is derived from the inner bark of cinnamon trees. When the bark dries, cinnamon strips start to curl into rolls, which are afterward ground up into powder.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder (organic, lightly processed)
  • one cup warm milk
  • Honey (to taste)
  • Vanilla extract (optional)
INSTRUCTION:
Add cinnamon to the milk, sweeten with honey, and enrich the taste with the vanilla extract.

This Coconut Milk Thai Iced Coffee is so decadent without a hint of dairy. The key is to make a thick and creamy sweetened condensed milk using coconut milk, which is much easier than you think. All you have to do is simmer the coconut milk and a sweetener until it’s reduced, then add almond extract and cardamom to make it taste truly authentic. It’s seriously the best combination of flavors.

There are a few smoothie recipes that I find myself going back to again and again, because they’re just so good.

This refreshing orange smoothie is great for this time of year, when colds and other viruses are going around. Both fresh oranges and mango contain a good dose of Vitamin C, which can help protect our immunity. When it comes to staying healthy, we’ll need to do a bit more than drink delicious smoothies. 😉 A combination of nutritious foods, exercise, stress reduction, and good old hand-washing are the best ways to prevent illness. I could write a whole series of posts about reducing stress, but for now I’ll just say that consistent exercise is a great help.
