Created with frozen fruit, juice, cinnamon and vanilla, these simple flavors combine to create a great healthier alternative dessert. Here’s a fun fact: Did you know that Cinnamon helps regulate your blood sugar levels? Now you have more than one reason to love cinnamon besides its’ amazing flavor!

Just place some frozen raspberries in a blender with a few tablespoons of apple juice or orange juice and a bit of cinnamon and vanilla.
