Before you go to your local baker or corner grocery store to pick up some muffins, try these wholesome ones out. They’re not like the others, because they’re high protein and low in carbs. Let’s take a deep dive into why these Chocolate Berry Protein Muffins are the perfectly healthy breakfast or snack:
- They’ve got protein, and a lot of it. Almond flour, the base of these muffins, is high in protein. But that’s not all. Thanks to Progressive’s Grass Fed Whey Protein powder, there is an added protein boost. It features 100% New Zealand protein, which is the cleanest source of protein since it has no growth hormones and is pasture raised.
- They’re low in Not that carbs are bad; in fact, they’re a great source of energy. But traditional muffins have too much, which can lead to energy crashes. These muffins are perfectly sweetened by maple syrup which doesn’t surge blood sugar levels like regular sugar does.
