This recipe is a tasty way to get a healthy balance of carbs & protein. The ginger and cinnamon have so many great benefits, one of which is that they lower blood sugar so you don’t have a crash before lunchtime.  This recipe can be shared with friends or even baked ahead of time for those mornings when you are short on time but not on appetite.
