Carrot and Banana Muffins

by | Nov 7, 2015 | 2 comments

A beautiful snack to accompany your lunch, for dessert or to enjoy with your loved ones. This mix has a whopping 3 cups of carrot. Just 1 medium carrot supplies you with 210% of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin A. The Vitamin A in carrots is coming from beta carotene, which is converted into Vitamin A in your liver. Vitamin A is particularly good for cancer prevention, is overall immune boosting and has the potential to prevent vision loss.
