If you make these protein blueberry muffins, you might have a hard time stopping after one. Luckily for you, the tasty treats are also better for you than an average muffin. In addition to tart blueberries, they’re also made with gluten-free flours, maple syrup, coconut sugar, chia seeds and vanilla plant-based protein powder. Each one gives you 10 grams of protein, so we think you can justify eating more than one!
