Re: Cinnamon, Spices, Flavorings (was -- Building Bones)

[Guest guest]

Speaking of spices, I've found that cinnamon, allspice, fresh ground

ginger (from the root) and nutmeg to be an incredible combinations in

smoothies, bakery and cereals. Works on sweet potatoes, too. And since

cinnamon is known to prevent insulin spikes and ginger has many

beneficial health properties I'm even more motivated to use them often.

Turmeric is a great spice as well... makes for great curry soup. I

still have dozens of spices for which I can't find a use for, however.

Cheers,

Thanks for your tips, Warren!

This morning I added some cinnamon and nutmeg to my blueberry, whey,

flax, guar, cellulose, peanut butter, walnut, macadamia, almond, and

coffee bean smoothie. The spices really are nice, in moderation. In

the past I've overdosed a bit on nutmeg, which, I find, can become

overpowering.
