Muffin love

We all love muffins right? Not the muffin that spills over our jeans I’m speaking of the baked assortment.. Especially mini ones, cause anything little is cute, and now they are just as filling!

Because they are made with protein, more protein, a vegetable and carb?

Sure. I’ll take a hundred.

These muffins are perfect post workout! Or just for extra snackage to hold you off till your next meal. They are easy to pack in a little baggie and eat if your out and about.
