To celebrate Thin From Within being back in stock, I’m sharing a few recipes from the book here on the blog. Click here to learn more about the book and find a copy at your preferred online or local retailer!

This is your all-in-one breakfast to-go that you can bake, store, and eat all week. Freeze them and they’ll last even longer! Just take one out of the freezer the night before to defrost and you’ll wake up to a sweet breakfast that’s literally ready when you are. The best part? These babies cover all your macronutrient needs—protein, fiber, and healthy fats—plus, they taste amazing. Bonus: Navy and I love them for an afternoon treat, too!

You can find this recipe (and many, many others!) in my book, Thin From Within!
