There comes a point every summer when the zucchini starts multiplying. These muffins are our favorite way to use it.
They're also a perfect example of how nutrition can feel different in midlife. For years, many of us were taught to think about food through the lens of restriction: less sugar, less fat, fewer calories, more willpower. But as hormones shift, that approach often leaves us feeling hungry, tired, and frustrated.
Instead, we like to think about what we can add.
These muffins start with zucchini, then layer in walnuts, flax, chia, Greek yogurt, and Menomix for protein, fiber, healthy fats, and plant diversity. They taste like a gorgeous muffin. They just happen to work a little harder for you.
Around here, we keep a batch in the freezer all summer long.
