The Majority of conventional muffins nowadays are really no different then cakes and cupcakes, providing you zero nutritional benefits, loads of empty calories, sugar and transfats. I know, they look so yummy AND they are already prepared and so easy for you to grab…BUT you may want to think twice.

There is an equally delicious and far healthier choice called Manna Bread. It is a sprouted grain, cake-like bread that has a muffin consistency and taste. “Sprouting” a grain activates enzymes in the food and makes it easier to digest and and uptake the nutrients.

The Manna bread is also full of fibre making it more filling and a complex carb, so it is broken down into sugar in your bloodstream more slowly. Plus, complex carbs help to boost your mood and decrease stress. This is why we tend to choose carbs in the first place, because they taste great and make us feel good.

Manna breads are available at most Natural Health stores in the Natural Health section.

Top yours with almond or cashew butter and sprinkled cinnamon
