Blueberry Almond "Good For You" Muffins




I know that "Good for You" is not exactly synonymous with muffins. This recipe however is loaded with protein, antioxidants, and tastes like happy - so hopefully it will make you think twice about the supposedly evil little muffin.

Longing to bake something in my new apartment last weekend with little more than some flour, eggs, and frozen blueberries at my disposal I whipped up (quite literally) these little guys. Substituting almond meal and protein powder for some of the flour in this recipe actually adds to the texture without compromising the flavor.

Pomegranate Applesauce!


So you go to the store, trying to be good, trying to follow that whole "apple-a-day" thing, and buy a sack of apples only to bring them home and find that they are mostly bruised, mealy, and unspectacular. Or, you've got some apples that have maybe been lying around a bit too long and fall into that unspectacular category. Well, in the spirit of waste not want not, when life give you crappy apples - make applesauce!
