Green Smoothie Muffins
Short on time? Your blender will now be your best friend. These muffins take almost no time to assemble and are the perfect mid-afternoon snack or breakfast.
Spinach – a fiber powerhouse!
These muffins are a great and delicious way to boost your daily nutrients. Spinach is high in insoluble fiber which may benefit your digestion plus spinach checks the boxes for many vitamins (A, C, K1) and minerals (iron, calcium, folic acid).
You can reach for these gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free muffins as an easy breakfast or snack on the go. Double the recipe and freeze half for later. You’ll get a total of 7g of protein per muffin to keep you energized.
