While I'm usually very good about getting my daily amount of fruit, I'm not the best with always remembering to eat my veggies. Seriously on a diet analysis I had to do for school, I had over 130% of my daily requirement for fruit and I didn't even reach full requirements in the veggie department.
C'mon Care, GET IT TOGETHER.
But I have found a recipe so I can start my day with veggies and even get some veggies in for dessert or a snack. Check out these spinach quinoa muffins. Found these little guys on Life Currents, found here: http://lifecurrents.dw2.net/spinach-quinoa-muffins/
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Around 3-5 cups fresh spinach, enough to yield 1 cup puree
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 medium overripe banana

- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon or ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
