I get it—we all need shortcuts to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Juggling family, work, and a busy schedule can make it hard to focus on optimizing nutrition. That's why I created my new Power Spice Series. I'll share how my Power Spice Blends can easily elevate the nutrition of prepackaged foods and more. All it takes is a few pinches to boost your foods' anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-breast cancer properties! 

Let's start with beverages.

One of the easiest ways to upgrade your nutrition is to boost your beverages. Why not turn your favorite daily beverages into nutritional powerhouses packed with flavor made by specialty curated spices for tea, coffee and smoothies? Here’s how to do it:

• Coffee—supercharge your coffee with antioxidants with my delicious Cinnapeel Spicer blend. It’s naturally sweet, featuring pure Ceylon cinnamon powder with a hint of ginger and granulated orange peel that bring out a more natural flavor than traditional cinnamon for coffee. Research has shown ginger and ceylon cinnamon synergize with the antioxidants in coffee. That means they work together to deliver more antioxidants and health benefits!
  
  
• Smoothies—put the “ooh” back into your smoothies by adding Golden Breakfast. This carefully crafted blend contains the dream team of spices: cacao (pure chocolate), turmeric, and Ceylon cinnamon. Cacao powder is packed with antioxidants and gets help from turmeric, which enhances cacao’s absorption. Plus, Ceylon cinnamon may help balance blood sugar levels.
  
  
• Teas—they don’t have to be tame! Just sprinkle some Morning Boost into black or any herbal tea. Morning Boost is packed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential anti-breast cancer benefits and has a warm, spicy-sweet depth (think apple pie!). 

This blend contains cloves, the #1 food in terms of antioxidant content, which may have up to 15 times the antioxidant value compared to other spices and herbs. Plus, Morning Boost features allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and Ceylon cinnamon, which may work to reduce blood sugar levels, which, in turn, improves insulin sensitivity.
