Power muffins are great for a pre work out energy boost, with the perfect amount of carbs to get your metabolism revved up. They are simple, quick and delicious for the time strapped athlete – make a bunch at a time – they are freezable too!!

If you use them for recovery, remember to add an extra source of protein along woth it, like perhaps a glass of milk, or some Greek yogurt – Yummy!!
