Cinnamon Energy Balls
I found this recipe from a friend who got it from another essential oil lover – santeeoils.com. These not only make a great dessert for a party they are great to have on hand when you need a boost of energy! Because of the oatmeal, peanut butter and natural sugars they are slow burning which prevents a spike in your blood sugar. Blood sugar spikes are always followed by a drop which makes you HUNGRY! The coconut and flaxseed provide some special antiviral and omega 3 fatty acids while the vanilla is helpful in dealing with stress. doTERRA Cinnamon Essential Oil: Cinnamon detoxifies the digestive system and stimulates brain function. Clinical studies have linked cinnamon consumption to lowered blood sugar. Cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help relieve arthritis pain.
