Need a new healthy breakfast idea?
Looking for a quick low carb breakfast without eggs? Well, an easy thing to do is make a batch of low carb muffins over the weekend, freeze them individually, or put them in an airtight container to have throughout the week.
You can pull the individual muffins out, quickly nuke them for 30 seconds, and run out the door! Best part, the kids like these easy to make muffins!
