FRUIT COCKTAIL 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.
8 ounces canned fruit cocktail, chilled 1 cup milk 1/4 cups nonfat dry milk powder 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 cups ice cubes 2 dashes ground cinnamon
In a blender container combine undrained fruit cocktail and remaining ingredients. Cover, blend till combined.
Add ice cubes, cover and blend till smooth. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon (for garnish) if desired. Serve immediately.
Cinnamon may significantly help people with type 2 diabetes improve their ability to respond to insulin, thus normalizing their blood sugar levels. Plus cinnamon is an excellent source of the trace mineral manganese and a very good source of dietary fiber, iron and calcium.
