Focus Blueberry + Clean Cinnamon Apple Muffins

 FOCUS BLUEBERRY & CLEAN CINNAMON APPLE

This month we decided to not only give you one Ruvi recipe, but TWO! We have two variations of what we would dare say are the best muffins out there.

Morning time can be busy and chaotic trying to get kids to school or activities and getting yourself and your spouse off to work, plus there is that extra pressure to make sure you get a nutritious breakfast on the table for your kids and yourself – it's only the most important meal of the day!

Worry no more, Ruvi is here to help! These muffins are perfect for breakfast, and even have those hidden fruits & veggies in them that your kids will never suspect! Add these into your weekly breakfast rotation, or even make them ahead of time and throw them in the freezer to keep for those busy mornings you need something quick and nutritious. Just pop a frozen one in the microwave for 30 seconds and you're good to go!
