Do you want to make this a bit more lean and mean? Try these suggestions below!!
1. eliminate the chocolate chips
2. Use skim milk instead of whole- stick with organic
3. Use 4 egg whites instead of 2 eggs. Keep it organic.
4. You can also modify the amount of protein powder you use to increase protein content. Just keep in mind that you will have to adjust the rest of the recipe to reach the right consistency. Higher protein muffins will always be a little harder but they will still taste just as good.
