When I’m asked to name one of the most effective actions we could take on board to improve health, increasing daily vegetable intake tops the list. A majority of people world-wide could benefit from increased plant/vegetable intake, especially if that also meant eating less processed or sugary foods. Another very effective action would to be stress less, and thankfully this easy-prep recipe takes care of that too.
We hope you enjoy these delicious savoury muffins as much as we do.
