HEALTHY GOJI NUT MUFFINS/ LACTATION MUFFINS
Let’s talk nutrition: Goji berries are packed with nutrition and are a super food. Almonds and pumpkin seeds add omegas, vitamin E and zinc. These are a perfect little muffin with healthy fats and protein.All Natural Ingredients, Low Sugar, Gluten and Grain Free!Why I also love this recipe, is they are super easy to make. You can also add in anything you like. For example when in season, I recommend adding in some fresh berries. I experimented with both goji and blueberries together and they were awesome. I also have any clients who are pregnant or nursing make a batch of these immediately! I leaned on these muffins for both my pregnancies and postpartum when the hunger attacks are real during nursing. You will love to have these pre-made in your nesting period, I swear. Make a batch for the week and you'll be SO glad you did. I eat these instead when I crave all those very unhealthy muffins from all the fancy coffee houses. Packed with healthy omegas, vitamin E, protein & fiber. Plus SO delish and easy. Can just use goji berries or blueberries or both. Enjoy!
