Serves 2 / Prep time: 5 minutes
Cinnamon is a lovely warm spice that often conjures up visions of holiday desserts or fragrant baked goods. Try to find Ceylon cinnamon instead of Cassia, because it does not contain cormarin, a toxin that affects the liver. Ceylon cinnamon is lighter in color and has a more delicate flavor than Cassia.
2 cups coconut milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
5 drops liquid stevia
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1. Put the coconut milk, protein powder, stevia, cinnamon, and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately.
A CLOSER LOOK
Most of the vanilla you will find in the grocery store probably
has alcohol in it because vanilla extract in the United States cannot be called pure unless it is 35 percent alcohol. You can find vanilla extract without alcohol in specialty stores, or use imitation vanilla extract.
