Cinna-mon Bun Smoothie---Without the "Sin"


I love cinnamon buns but I certainly don't love the calorie intake.  For one cinnamon bun it will cost you 800 calories. WOW!!!!  So here is an alternative to eating a cinnamon bun, try drinking it.  A healthy option for those who care if they are consuming 800 calories for 8 bites.  Okay, let's be honest, nothing can beat a fresh out of the oven cinnamon bun but I promise I tested this recipe and it comes close, except it's not hot but icy cold.  Great for a hot summer day! I just had this smoothie for breakfast and it does not disappoint. Your waist line will thank me later ;)

Proverbs 17:22, " A cheerful heart is good like a medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
* Don't allow your self to be the cause of someone else's dried up bones.  Take ownership of your words and give them a job of building others up...People should feel encourage in your presence.
Do they?
