A Mighty Muffin!

Who knew a muffin top could help you cure your muffin top? Everyone knows fiber fills you up longer. But there's another fiber benefit and it lies not in what it provides, but rather what it sweeps away. A diet high in fiber cleanses your gut, allowing it to absorb all the nutrients and vitamins in your food. According to Sophie Pachella, founder of Eat Strong.Among the best qualities of fiber is the fact that it retains four times its weight in water and so really fills up up. Following is a very high-fiber snack which will ensure your internal plumbing is operating at full potential.
Ingredients:One chocolate Vitatop one Lightfull shake (chocolate or cafe latte) A dozen almonds or 1 tbsp almond butter
Spread the almond butter on the muffin top and enjoy with the shake. Tip: freeze the shake for 20 minutes prior to drinking and it'll taste very much like a regular chocolate milkshake. 12 grams each protein and fiber.
