Apple Ginger Breakfast Medley
This Apple Ginger Breakfast Medley is a fantastic way to start the day since it contains components that help balance blood sugar and promote thyroid health. Compared to other apples and many other fruits, green apples have a lower glycemic index, and studies have shown that cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar. Cinnamon may improve cellular absorption of glucose and raise insulin sensitivity.
