To eat a muffin, or not to eat a muffin, that is the question…
Most people think they’re making the right decision by starting off the day with a muffin opposed to a sugary donut. Unfortunately, the bakery muffins for sale are hardly any healthier. Many muffins you buy from your local bakery and supermarket are packed with empty calories and tons and tons of sugar. However, once in a while when you dig through the junk you find a gem, or in this case a delicious and good for you muffin.
I finally found a muffin both mom and kiddos can agree with!! Made with only natural sugars and plenty of protein to get the body game ready to tackle the day, these blueberry muffins will definitely start the day off with a BANG!
