Green Monster Muffins

For those of you trying to get more greens into your bellies, here is a quick and easy way to "Get it in ya!" These sweet little muffins are an excellent grab and go snack made with unpasteurized honey, a whole bunch of spinach and healthy fats, can you say AWESOME!  Yeah you can :)

​Here is a fun, VERY green muffin recipe that the kids will love.  Both of my official recipe testers (3 and 1 yrs) approved and were asking for seconds, so obviously I HAD to share the recipe!!

I am all for heatlhy-ish, quick and easy recipes that don't create a bunch of dishes and this recipe checks all the boxes.  You pretty much need a blender and a bowl and a couple of measuring tools--that's a win in my world.
