healthy is trendy!

Blueberry chia muffins that are packed with protein and just the right amount of sweetness- perfect to make ahead for an easy busy morning breakfast!

November is here my friends. I am mildly freaking out inside  about the next two months. Events happening every weekend on my calendar all the way into January. My heart is full that there is that much on our social calendar but also a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of tasks that will need my attention for each one of those events. Time to dust off my Super Mom cape and get that coffee IV installed!

When life gets chaotic, I like to think of shortcuts to help balance my time. Always an easy way to balance the weekdays is with a little bit of weekend meal prep. Not only is the food ready to go but it also eliminates the brain power of deciding what to make. Score for less decisions for a day!

Today I am sharing a blueberry muffin recipe that is loaded with protein with just the right bit of sweetness. Delicious fresh blueberries with added texture from chia seeds- these are healthy and easy breakfast option! They are pretty dense and keep me full until a mid-morning light snack. Warning, these will stick so make sure you grease well. If you do not have fresh blueberries, frozen will work. Another option subbing for cranberries which are very seasonal right now- they would be a delicious alternative!
