Health and fertility benefits of Dr. Lee's Mocha Meringue
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp of cocoa
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
4 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Sift powdered sugar, cocoa, coffee and salt. Put dry mix and almonds in blender—grind until it becomes a fine powder. Beat the egg whites and vanilla extract until stiff. Fold the powdered mix with the stiff egg whites. Drop meringue mix with a tablespoon onto cookie sheet. Bake for 2 to 3 hours, turn off the oven, leave meringues in oven for 20 minutes, then serve.
