Named Most Delicious & Healthy Muffin on the Planet

Pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors of the fall season. And what better way to enjoy Pumpkin than with a healthy protein muffin recipe?

When it comes to nutrition, pumpkin is a pretty healthy vegetable to include your diet. The meat of a pumpkin is high in Vitamin A and rich in flavonoid poly-phenolic antioxidants like leutin, xanthin, and carotenes.

Pumpkin is also low in calories, contains no fat, and is super high in fiber. Fiber is an incredibly important ingredient to get more of on any weight loss plan. Not only does it keep you feeling full because it expands in your stomach, it also burns more calories during digestion, so it’s a great boost to your metabolism.

A good dose of protein is the only thing missing from this powerful member of the squash family. So to even things out, I’ve come up with a delicious, healthy recipe for Protein Pumpkin Muffins. You’re going to love this one…
