Golden Honey Apple
You know that 3pm sugar craving when you're eyeing the candy drawer? I've been there! This apple cinnamon honey combo has become my go-to when I need something sweet but don't want to crash an hour later or feel guilty about it.
Why This Works So Well:
Hormone-friendly energy - The natural sugars give you that sweet hit without the blood sugar rollercoaster that can mess with your mood and energy
PMS cravings sorted - When you're craving chocolate or candy, this actually satisfies that sweet tooth while giving your body nutrients it can use
Keeps you full longer - Unlike a cookie or candy bar, the fiber keeps you satisfied so you're not hunting for more snacks 20 minutes later
Skin-loving antioxidants - Your skin gets a boost from all those apple and cinnamon antioxidants
Energy without the crash - Perfect for that afternoon slump or pre-workout fuel
