As promised a healthy version of carrot cake, I have made into muffins as it is much easier to portion size out this way 🙂 Carrots are great for their vitamin A and antioxidant content and are so easy to add to muffins as they have a naturally sweet flavour. These muffins don’t contain much sugar and are kid friendly. Free of gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts and refined sugars. No nasties!

This makes a great quick breakfast during the week when you are time poor. The addition of protein powder will give it the added protein boost. Pumpkin is a good source of antioxidants particularly vitamin A which is essential for vision and skin health.

I definitely enjoy my coffee so why not make a smoothie for breakfast that includes it. When drinking coffee it is best to balance it with some protein and fat to slow down its digestion so you are not left with low blood sugar after drinking it. Not everyone can drink coffee and if you suffer from stress and anxiety on a daily basis you really should consider avoiding caffeine as it heightens the symptoms.
