The pairing here of rich, hydrating plant-based fats and proteins with clarifying spices will get you through a hectic season with perfect balance. Cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg all contain bacteria banishing properties to keep those stress-related breakouts at bay, while nourishing coconut milk, banana, and chia feed your skin with beautifying vitamins and moisture.
Molasses, although a byproduct of cane sugar, is actually a low-glycemic sweetener which stabilizes blood sugar and has been helpful in treating diabetes, menstrual pain, obesity, and bone deficiencies. It is added here for its high iron content, mineral density, calcium and antioxidant value.
