Pumpkin Zucchini Power Muffins

“Eat more veggies”, they say.

“Try to get more veggies in at breakfast,” they say.

Let’s be honest, we don’t always run for the veggies at breakfast.  My kids included.  But when I can sneak them into muffins, it makes this momma’s job easier. 

These muffins are a favorite of mine.  Not only is each serving size THREE muffins (seriously, I can barely eat two) but each serving size has a whole serving of veggies, protein, and carbs.  An ideal combination for starting the day off healthy and with some energy.

My kids love these too- easy to grab one and run out the door, or we save them for an after school snack.

I personally love to grab one on the way down to the basement for a morning workout, eat it on the way, take my pre-workout, then let my body do the work.

I hope you enjoy these too!  Leave a comment below and let me know what you think!

2 large zucchini, shredded/grated

Slice ends off zucchini and grate/shred making four 1c servings.  Pat dry with paper towels.  In a large bowl, mix eggs, vanilla, pumpkin.  Add in oats, Shakeology, and spices.  Mix well.  Spoon into coated/non stick muffin tin.  Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool on wire rack for 5-10 minutes.  Enjoy!
