Benefits of ingredients:
Pineapple contains manganese which helps regulate your levels of glucose (blood sugar). It also aids in calcium absorption and is important for metabolizing carbs and fats.
Cinnamon imitates the activity of insulin, helping your body regulate its’ blood sugar levels as well, giving you long lasting energy.
Macadamia nuts contain healthy fats that can stimulate ketosis and weight loss just like coconut oil. Just keep in mind that just a few (like in this recipe) will do as they are calorie dense after all.
