These muffins are delicious and make a really healthy snack for all the family.
They are high in protein, are low GI, wheat free and full of antioxidants.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups almond meal
1/2 cup xylotol (or two teaspoons stevia powder)
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 pure cream
Sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon to your liking. ( approx a teaspoon of each)
3 free range eggs (small to medium)
3/4 cup fresh blueberries ( ½ cup to go into mix – balance to go on the top of muffin)
1 tablespoon almond butter
½ cup desiccated coconut (optional)
½ cup chopped almonds (optional)

METHOD

Preheat the oven at 200C (180C fan forced)
Grease with butter the 12 pod muffin tray
In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside.
You will need to warm the almond butter, coconut oil or butter first and then in a medium bowl mix all the wet ingredients together.
Then pour the wet mix in to the dry mix, and keep stirring till it is thoroughly mixed.
The mixture should be a little runny (if too runny add a little more almond meal and mix through well).
Fill each pod about 3/4 full. Spread the mix over the greased muffin tray to make 12 muffins. Drop 4 or so blueberries
on the top of each muffin.
Place in hot oven and cook for about 15 minutes. Check to see if muffins are cooked through at this point, by piercing with a skewer
or fork. If there is still wet mix on the skewer you will need to keep cooking for a further 5-8 minutes.
Keep an eye on your muffins to make sure they are not burning on the top. Should that start to happen cover with a sheet of foil .
When the muffins are light golden brown on top and cooked throughout, remove and allow to cool..

When totally cooled, muffins can be stored in an airtight container.

Hi my name is Shane and I really wanted to share the amazing difference introducing this smoothie, has made to my health, mostly energy.

I started having it when  Maxine sent out the email newsletter promoting them along with the instructions on how to make them up. I did it for about a month, then told her how good it was for me, but life got busy and I stopped. Two weeks ago I started making them every day as soon as I got home from work. Almost immediately I started feeling great – so much more energy it is almost unbelievable. My skin looks so healthy people have been commenting about how good I look. Just by drinking the blue berry green smoothie each afternoon.

Here’s the recipe for your BLUE BERRY GREEN SMOOTHIE in case you want to try it!!

If you like a frosty smoothie, use frozen berries.  Yield: 2 cups, 1 serving

2/3 cup water

1/2 orange, peeled and sectioned

1 ripe banana

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1 cup chopped spinach, Swiss chard, or kale

Place all the ingredients in a blender and process on high speed until smooth. Serve immediately.

Real change occurs when you change behaviours and beliefs from the inside out.
