Health and fertility benefits of Cinnamon Roll Pudding Pops

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). Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease. Chia seeds are made up of 60% Omega-3 fatty acids and are the highest source of protein out of any type of seed.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal”
1 cup Crushed Pecans
1/3 cup Flax Seed Meal
1/3 cup Chia Seeds
1/2 cup Cauliflower, riced (~ 3 oz.)
3 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
3 oz. Cream Cheese
3 tbsp. Butter
1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Maple Flavor
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 tsp. Allspice
3 tbsp. Erythritol, powdered
10-15 drops Liquid Stevia
1/8 tsp. Xanthan Gum (optional)

Instructions

1. Take whatever amount you want of the Cinnamon Roll “Oatmeal” recipe you have made and stick it in the blender. Blend it up as much as you want (or not at all). I feel it helps with the texture and freezing of the final popsicles.
2. Spoon the mixture into your popsicle mold. It takes about 1/4 cup to fill each up.
3. Using your spoon, slide it into and out of the popsicle mold to get out any air bubbles that may be inside. Make sure that you don’t overfill the molds because the top will stick to them otherwise.
4. Put the lid on top of the popsicle molds and slide the popsicle sticks into the slots at the top. You don’t want them to go all the way to the bottom.
5. Put the popsicle mold into the freezer and allow to freeze completely. This can take 3-4 hours (and can stay in your freezer as long as you want).
6. Run a hot water bath in your sink and submerge the popsicle molds into the hot water for 20-30 seconds.
7. Take the lid off of the popsicle mold, pulling and wiggling the popsicles as you pull. They should come out quite easily. Enjoy!
