Typically, I would grab some kind of protein bar, nuts or a cheese stick, but I've been feeling like I need something new. I started out with my egg white muffins, which are great--but, then I came across this recipe from Jamie Eason (LOVE HER!). It sounded a little weird to me at first----turkey in a muffin---but, they are really delicious! Best yet, you can easily pack them with you for lunch and a side of raw veggies or salad.... I made them yesterday and they are delicious! But, you can also use them for dinner--in perfectly portioned sizes! I would recommend having 2 as a protein serving--they are great for building lean muscle mass!
