Health and fertility benefits of Fiesta Fruit Cups Recipe

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). One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

6 flour tortillas (6 inches)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
2 cups halved fresh strawberries
1 cup cubed cantaloupe
1 cup cubed honeydew
1/2 cup peach preserves
1 large navel orange, peeled and sectioned
Whipped topping, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Brush tops of tortillas with butter; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cut each tortilla into six wedges; transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, place strawberries, cantaloupe and honeydew in a large bowl. Cut a thin slice from top and bottom of orange; stand orange upright on a cutting board. With a knife, cut off peel and outer membrane. Cut along the membrane of each segment to remove fruit and add to bowl. Gently stir in preserves.
Divide fruit among six dessert dishes. Serve with chips and, if desired, whipped topping.
