Recipe Note
Take the guilt out of your morning routine with this healthier alternative to breakfast muffins. Compared to breakfast muffins you might purchase at the grocery store, by making these at home, you can control the added sugar content and boost your nutrition. This recipe is less than 200 calories per serving with almost 4g of protein and 3g of fiber! This muffin can be eaten with a serving of nut butter, extra fruit, or even a side of Greek yogurt for more protein and fiber in the morning.
With the addition of Nature’s Garden Omega-3 Deluxe Mix, this recipe is higher in iron, magnesium, calcium, and fiber with the combination of almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds that our mix contains. It provides an extra crunch that makes these muffins so flavorful and adds a boost of energy to your morning routine. Nuts contain fat-soluble nutrients and cancer-prevention agents which can improve brain function, skin integrity, and appearance, and may help to naturally reduce the aging process (1). The nuts found in our deluxe mix are high in phenolic compounds. Studies have shown that the utilization of a variety of nuts in your normal diet can have cardioprotective, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, and stress-relieving effects (2). We hope you try this recipe and begin to incorporate Nature’s Garden Omega-3 Deluxe mix into your routine!
