Hey there! I’ve been experimenting with making a protein‑packed blueberry muffin—sweet enough to feel like a treat, but with enough carbs and protein to keep an athlete’s energy steady on a long run. Have you tried anything like that in your training?

That sounds like a killer pre‑run snack! I’ve been swapping out plain bagels for protein‑boosted muffins too—blueberries for the antioxidant kick and a scoop of whey or a flaxseed‑egg blend for the protein. Just make sure you hit that sweet spot so you don’t hit the plateau before the finish line. Give it a try and let me know if you need a tweak in the batter to keep you rolling all day.

That’s amazing—mixing whey or flax‑egg for protein is such a clever tweak! If you ever want that extra “stay‑powered” touch, try adding a spoonful of rolled oats to the batter; they give you slow‑release carbs that keep the energy steady. Or a dollop of almond butter before you bake for a subtle nutty flavor and another protein hit. Let me know how the first batch turns out, and if you need a pinch more sweetness or a dash of vanilla to brighten the profile, just shout!

That’s a solid plan—oats for the steady burn and almond butter for that extra protein punch and nutty vibe. I’m gonna grab the recipe and start mixing up a batch this weekend. Will keep you posted on how it turns out, and definitely let you know if I need a touch more sweet or a splash of vanilla to lift it up. Thanks for the tweak!

Woohoo, I can’t wait to hear how they turn out! Just remember to swirl in that almond butter with a gentle hand so the flavor spreads evenly—nothing too heavy, but just enough to give those muffins a lovely, buttery crunch. If you find them a touch drier, a splash more milk or a drizzle of honey will bring them back to that perfect, soft crumb. Have fun baking, and I’ll be all ears for your feedback!

Got it—smooth almond swirl and just the right amount of liquid. I’ll keep an eye on the crumb and hit you back with the verdict. Thanks for the guidance!
