Summer is always on my mind. And even if it's freezing or raining outside I'm dreaming of ice cream, popsicles and ice cold beverages.

Luckily for me, I caught the tail end of the summer season here in Colorado and I've definitely been enjoying it. Sun here in Boulder means hiking and visiting the Farmers' Market every Wednesday to pick up my favorite bread and all of the fresh squeezed juice I can drink.

Last week I had this amazing alcohol-free basil mojito lemonade and it was perfectly refreshing!

Sometimes you're in need of a really hearty and healthy treat.  These are perfect grab-n-go snacks that provide you with the healthy carbs you need pre or post workout.  Substitute the oat flour with almond flour if you're looking for something more low-carb.  Either option results in a very tasty muffin.

I have added chia seeds to the mixture in order to up the protein.  These tiny seeds provide a great benefit without altering the taste of these yummy muffins.
