Banana Zucchini Chia Muffins

When Andrew is in town eating healthy goes right out the window for me. Last week was no exception. So I decided to put an end to it and make a healthy meal plan for this week. I also made some healthy muffins which we both love.

I just started incorporating chia seeds into some of my baking. (I used them in my energy bites as well) I don’t know why I haven’t used them sooner. They are super healthy, don’t really have a taste but add a little extra crunch.
