Bread Veggies

Veggies in my bread…

 had Plyoburn bright and early this morning! Since it is an hour of cardio and weights, I eat my carbs before the workout and my protein immediately afterwords. This zucchini bread (and all of my muffins) are the perfect pre-workout breakfast. Then, right after class, I get a whey protein smoothie with fruit to replenish the glycogen stores quickly.
I am looking forward to having this in vanilla greek yogurt with cashew butter tomorrow morning!
