Ok...... so on my Facebook post the other day I shared a pic and mentioned that I was playing around with a new muffin recipe and if it turned out good I would be posting a blog with the recipe. Well it turned out pretty darn good and even my older son has been eating them (the rest of the family prejudges if they are too healthy and wont even taste them...bummer). I have been so into using as many superfoods as possible in my meals throughout the day I wanted to make a superfood muffing by adding in all my favorites. So get ready to meet the new "Superfood Power Muffins"

These muffins are chock full of nutritional goodness and very filling. I have been eating them for breakfast every morning and they keep me full for a couple hours. A good source of both healthy fats and protein it makes for a great pre or post workout snack or a grab and go meal replacement for those of us that prefer small meals several times a day.
