Colorful muffins with overflowing tops sit on a shelf behind crystal-clear glass. That in itself is a tease. You can see the tantalizing treat, but the invisible “don’t touch” sign hangs on your brain. It’s time you look past the glass barrier and behold a bountiful muffin, once and for all. Bursting with three kinds of berries and over 10 grams of protein, these anytime power-cakes break the mold.
