Black Forest Protein Muffins

Black Forest Protein Muffins

This black forest protein muffin recipe really packs a punch full of superfoods! We’ve added maca, cacao, quinoa & sacha inchi powder for a high protein, nutrient-rich experience with a chocolate taste. Hopefully you’ll be feeling ready to take on the world after trying these! 

Gelatinised for enhanced nutrient absorption, our organic Maca Root Powder is a uniquely revitalising, energising and hormone-supporting superfood. Our organic Sacha Inchi Powder is a completely natural, chemical-free, easy to digest source of plant protein - with absolutely NO artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. Our organic Optimised Instant Quinoa Powder is a nutrient-rich, ready to consume protein source with a delicious mild nutty taste. Quinoa has been used in South America for thousands of years as a highly nutritious food.

Our organic Cacao Powder is rich in magnesium - adequate consumption ensures clarity of mind and helps to reduce feelings of stress and fatigue. Cacao products also have the ability to improve feelings of wellbeing due to their positive effect on a number of key neurotransmitters known for their anti-depressant abilities such as serotonin, dopamine, phenylethylamine and anandamide. These chemicals have been shown to be highest in happy people and are responsible for lifting our mood and are often referred to as our ‘bliss’ chemicals.

A mouth-watering treat that might just help to reduce your fatigue and promote feelings of well-being? Yes, please. Let’s get started.
