Amen to cinnamon. <br />

For a while now I've been having a half cup of low fat cottage cheese with ground cinnamon and a few blueberries on top. Good snack

I noticed this thread because thats what I have been having before heading up the mountain for a day's boarding. About 3/4 cup of rolled oats, teaspoon cinnamon, a whole banana, a squirt of honey and milk all thrown in the blender until smooth. I can go for hours on that.<br />

The cinnamon seems to get your circulation going well.
