Zucchini Carrot Chobani Muffins

These muffins are a take-off on another carrot recipe I make. I bought some zucchini and thought it would be good to sneak some extra veggies into my family’s snack this week. The muffins are super moist, protein-packed and heavenly. No added oils to weigh them or you down! A must try for a lunch box snack, breakfast or after-school snacking idea.
