CHEFIT: DARK CHOCOLATE GREEK YOGURT MUFFINS

Jenny with the Good Eats is BACK with more unbelievably delicious goods. This week she brought a whole new meaning to 'sweet treat.'

These muffins are the ultimate go-to when you're feeling a sweet craving coming on. Not only do they contain protein-packed Greek yogurt, but they also have whole wheat flour which is packed with fiber and plenty of vitamins and minerals. Protein plus fiber plus dark chocolate equals a filling yet sweet treat!

Try these as a quick breakfast on the go or as a quick snack after a workout. If you want to add more protein, try these muffins with some peanut butter.
