Carter Fitness: V-Diet Muffins

Remember my balls? Well V-Diet Muffins might actually be better than my (protein) balls.

My Actual Muffins

V-Diet Muffins were first created by Daven (username on T-Nation forums). They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and I have a strong feeling that is exactly what happened here. You see, on the V-Diet you get nothing but protein Metabolic Drive protein shakes 5 times a day. Yawn.

And on the V-diet, there are 3 main foods you can consume: Metabolic Drive, ground flax seeds, and peanut butter. I'm guessing Daven thought "what the hell" lets see if the suckers bake up. Sure enough, they do.

With the help of some of my clients I tweaked the recipe a bit, and below is what I came up with. It is geared towards my V-Diet calorie level so adjust it for yours. If you are on the V-Diet, only add the peanut butter IF it is within your calorie range (they bake up fine without). You can switch flavors, and add various extracts or spices to come with your own variation. This is not just for V-Dieters, these things actually taste good, and make a great protein based snack.
