Orange Slices with Warm Cinnamon Raspberries

By Bailey1_

There’s a reason we call certain foods “comfort foods.” They make us feel satisfied and satiated. Phase 1’s fruit, pasta, rice, oatmeal and toast are high-carb, low-fat foods that we naturally reach for to soothe stress. These same foods have a similar effect on your adrenal glands.

You and your adrenals will feel truly nurtured by this simple yet delicious dish.  You’ll savor each bite as the hint of cinnamon with the fresh fruit adds a nice twist. Plus, the vitamin C in the oranges and raspberries will help the body convert glucose (sugar) by shuttling it into your cells mitochondria for it to be broken down and converted to energy instead of being stored as fat.

Ingredients

• 4 seedless oranges, such as navel oranges
• 2 cups frozen unsweetened raspberries, (not thawed)
