Why Add Chia & Cinnamon to Your Keto Smoothie?
Chia seeds are a top-tier keto ingredient. Just 1 tablespoon offers 11g of fiber and a plant-based source of omega-3s. According to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, chia can help manage blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Cinnamon not only adds warmth and spice—it has been studied for its potential to lower blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. When combined with coconut oil and protein, this smoothie becomes a functional, fat-burning keto breakfast.
