High Protein Muffins: Pear and Walnut
Prep time:10 mins- Cook time:15 mins
- Servings:2
Try these high protein muffins, perfect for a non-fasting day breakfast that tastes like dessert! These protein muffins will keep your hunger levels low and reduce your desire to snack throughout the day.
Snacking stops fat burning – in order to start the process of fat burning, you must flip the metabolic switch from sugar burning to fat burning mode. If you are constantly feeding your body, particularly with highly processed carbohydrates (like a supermarket muffin) you will continuously have glucose stores available for energy. To help run down glucose stores and allow your body to begin accessing fat as a form of energy, we recommend you minimise snacks and instead, enjoy two or three meals a day high in protein, fibre and healthy fats to keep you satiated.
