That is a great idea, making muffins ahead of time and putting all sorts of good stuff in them..... you may have inspired me to give it a try, Dogmama. Do you use any specific type of protein powder? I really try and make sure I get some protein into me for breakfast. It last so much longer then. I do not care for shakes or proteins drinks, anything like that. Never liked shakes or malts as a kid and still don't, healthy or not. Give me freshly ground, hot coffee in the morning.
