These muffins are a treat that helps rid us of cravings and also happens to be super good for you! This recipe would by far be my most requested recipe! Packed with protein from eggs, almond meal & chia, they are great at sustaining energy throughout the day and aid in weight loss & good brain function. Chia helps you feel full after eating, is excellent for digestion & is loaded with omega-3; great for the brain. Almonds & chia help build strong bones & teeth & stabilize blood sugar and great anti-inflammatories. Cocoa helps with ageing in general and when we are in need of some additional magnesium. It also helps build strong bones & assists digestion, strengthens the mind and elevates mood with anti-depressant properties. Yes, this is one happy muffin!
