Beth Nolan, a local Murrieta mom and creator and owner of Move Your Muffins, has been a personal trainer specializing in nutrition and fitness, a certified nutrition coach, and a group fitness instructor for the last 6 years. She is the head coach for a major fitness franchise located in Redlands with her own personal clients (for both personal training and nutrition) as well as the occasional spin instructor. She is one busy mama!
She started making muffins for her kiddos years ago in an attempt to get them to eat healthier. And I totally get it...the struggle is real! Her youngest is autistic and incredibly picky so she started making muffins because he liked breakfast food and carbs the most (yeah, me too!) She was always sneaking all sorts of healthy things into them! As a single mom, Beth began what she calls "the single mom hustle" and even though she is now remarried, she never lost the drive. Her whole goal in life is to make an impact, to influence others to make a change, and to help people live healthier lives. "My job is so rewarding and I love what I do!"
"Carbs often get a bad rap", Nolan says. "People forget that we need carbs not only to sustain hard workouts, but also in muscle recovery." Move Your Muffins are protein enhanced, low gluten and have little to no refined sugars. She uses the best, most natural ingredients, while still producing a product that tastes good.
Did you know that the typical bakery style muffin is around 600+ calories, 20 grams of fat, about 4 or 5 grams of protein, and over 60 grams of carbs?! WHOA! Each muffin from Move Your Muffins average 300 calories, 10 grams of fat, 10 grams of protein, and 50 carbs. They are perfect with some egg whites or an additional protein shake!
Our family had a chance to try some and boy did Beth deliver!! The mini cake batter muffins were eaten in one day - imagine funfetti cake but somehow even tastier! And since I love anything pumpkin, I was all about that Pumpkin Spice flavor! I am a sweets fanatic, but being on a health kick, these were just what I needed. But to be honest, you can't even tell they are healthy. Moist, delicious, with that taste of homemade goodness, I didn't feel guilty after eating one (or two!)
