Muffins? Weight loss? I know what you are thinking …how does those two words even go together? I thought the same until I made these juice pulp muffins. But with the wonderful health benefits of Grapefruit (weight loss, anti-cellulite, liver detoxifier and high in vitamin C), mixed with Tumeric (super food, anti-flammatory, adaptogen) plus all the additional fibre and fats. This is a winner.
Due to an excess of Grapefruits in our household we have been juicing them with some Tumeric, Ginger and Lemon to make a strong juice concentrate to keep in the fridge. Each morning we add a TBS to add to warm water to drink first thing in the morning and boy does the body love that!
Being one to not to waste anything – I decided to try my hand at turning the pulp into muffins. Mmm Mmm Mmmm.
Brace yourself though! Think Tart and Tangy and perfect with a dollop of your favourite yogurt.
