Halloween is just around the corner and it often means sugar-laden candy and treats. However, there are ways to avoid the sugar by making your own healthy Halloween recipes. This Halloween pumpkin cinnamon smoothie is perfect for one of our favorite autumn holidays. Kids will love it, and so will adults. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients.
Almond milk:
They are excellent sources of calcium, vitamin E, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Almonds are natural powerhouses and have shown benefits in lowering cholesterol, brain health, heart health, weight loss, and more.
Cinnamon:
This potent spice is packed with health benefits. It boosts brain function, protects against heart disease because of calcium and fiber, regulates blood sugar, and more.
