Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
1 (1.3-ounce) milk chocolate singles bar, broken into small pieces
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch ground cinnamon
1 cup candy covered dark chocolate, frozen
Cook's Note: For the best results, chill the blender jar and glasses in the freezer for 1 hour before making. Place the milk chocolate bar in a microwave-safe bowl. Using the defrost setting, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Allow to cool. Blend the ice cream, milk, melted chocolate, almond extract, and cinnamon in a blender jar (preferably chilled) until the mixture is combined. Add the frozen candy covered chocolate and pulse several times to chop them into small bits and blend them into the ice cream mixture. Serve in chilled juice-size glasses with spoons.
