While the usual healthy breakfasts of a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, oatmeal with fruit and milk, and egg whites are all great stand ins, why not mix up your breakfast routine. These power packed breakfast muffins can be made in advance so you can enjoy them all week long.
Apple and Berry Low Fat Power Muffins
Apples provide fiber, calcium, phosphorous, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and folate. Blueberries are full of antioxidants. Put them together and you get a one-two punch! Yogurt pulls in protein and rolled oats add additional fiber. You can’t go wrong with this amazing breakfast on the go. These muffins come in just under 200 calories each (less than 1/3 of the coffee store brand), with almost 8 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fiber.
Enjoy!
