CAPPUCCINO SMOOTHIE
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
2 cups brewed double strength coffee 1 pint coffee ice cream 6 cups ice 1 1/2 cups milk Whipped cream, if desired Cinnamon for garnish
Place coffee, ice cream, ice and milk in blender. Mix until smooth. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon.
A prebreakfast mug of coffee can help pare excess pounds, a proven diabetes risk factor, by suppressing appetite by as much as 35%. Drinking a cup of coffee first thing can reduce blood sugar swings by 50%.
And the effect lasts throughout the entire day. Researchers theorize that coffee's rich supply of phenols and other antioxidants boost production of insulin, the hormone that helps keep blood sugar in check.
What's more, this nutrient blend improves cell's response to insulin, so the hormone can function at peak efficiency.
