Eggy Broccy Muffins by Live Love Nourish
The humble sandwich is an Australian favourite. Most children will grow up having sandwiches in their lunchbox over their entire schooling life! It’s easy to prepare and most kids have their favourite filling whether that be jam, vegemite, peanut butter, cheese, ham, salad or a combination. There are those kids who don’t stray from the everyday and insist on it being always the same and some that don’t mind a bit of variety.
For those that are open to other options and new ideas, these muffins are an easy and nutritious way to go. Sometimes it’s good to shake things up a bit and find ways to provide sandwich alternative lunches. Steering away from sugary carbohydrate full lunches, towards including protein, good fats and complex carbohydrate rich foods, means less cravings, longer and sustained energy and focus.
