Health Benefits of the Ingredients:
Whey Protein Isolate – Very Vanilla: Adding whey protein to these muffins increases the protein content, which can help keep you fuller for longer and support muscle repair, especially if you’re aiming for weight loss or muscle gain. Protein is crucial for maintaining lean muscle mass while cutting calories.
Frozen Blueberries: Packed with antioxidants, blueberries are low in calories and high in fibre, making them a great addition to a weight loss diet. The fibre content helps to slow digestion, keeping you satisfied between meals.
Dark Chocolate Chips: Although small in amount, dark chocolate chips provide a boost of antioxidants and can help curb sweet cravings, which can be key in sticking to a weight loss plan.
Rolled Oats: Oats are a great source of complex carbohydrates and fibre, helping to maintain energy levels throughout the day. Fibre is also beneficial for digestion, making oats a must-have for anyone on a weight management plan.
