It is late September, and we are officially in full swing of weekend soccer games and birthday parties around here.  To me, that means: portable, healthy, grab-and-go breakfasts and snacks are a lifesaver.  There is honestly nothing more irritating than HANGRY kiddos on the run.  And, HANGRY adults for that matter!  These easy, nutritious muffins will be your new best friend.  With two servings of fruit and veggies and almond butter for some healthy fat and protein, they will keep everyone satisfied and sustained.  Enjoy!
