I decided I am going to make a weekly series of different protein desserts! Check out the last one here. (Strawberry Banana Protein Muffins). Mainly because I recently bought a bunch of Cellucor protein from bodybuilding.com and want to test out the different flavors. They were having a buy 2 get 1 free sale, so I was able to get three different flavors for $60 rather than the usual $30-45 for just one at GNC or vitamin shoppe. I bought cake batter, mint chocolate chip, and cinnamon swirl. So, stay tuned for muffins or other goodies using those flavors.
Today I used chocolate because I thought that sounded the best with zucchini, and I really wanted to use zucchini. I have a few other zucchini recipes, like paleo zucchini bread or my non-paleo zucchini muffins, that always remind me of this time of the year.
