Weekly Meal Plan

Weekly Meal Plan #12: Protein Muffins is 5 protein packed muffins to make and take with you throughout the week. As you know, I always focus on making sure protein is in every meal, including breakfast and snacks.

Muffins are delicious, but protein muffins are even more delicious!

I love a blueberry muffin or a poppyseed one. But the typical muffin just doesn’t have enough protein in it to keep us feeling full until our next meal. This might explain why after eating one with coffee, you’re starving a couple hours later.

Protein helps keep us full and is essential for body functions. So why not have the best of both worlds with protein muffins. These can be eaten for breakfast and are great for a post workout snack.

5 protein packed muffins for you to try this week.

I love blueberry muffins. This one is more on the sweet side, but the Greek yogurt helps to keep your body from digesting all the sugar quickly. I feel this is the best of both worlds for me. I’d eat this one more as a treat than a breakfast.
