I read in the Enter the zone book that muffins made with jiffy cornbread mix, lowfat milk, egg whites and protein powder could be used as a snack. It said 1 protein block underneath it. Would this be the whole snack or would I need to add a carb and fat. the jiffy box says 27 g carb and4.5 g fat per serving of 6 but the recipe in zone says make 20 muffins. Is this the whole snack or do i need to add to it?

Hi,

I've never made those muffins, but I just took a quick look at the recipe in Enter the Zone. Looks like you would make 20 muffins, as directed in the book, and consider one muffin to be a Zone balanced 1 block snack.

thanks, I think I will try them

Sherry, the jiffy muffins might be balanced, but my inclination is that they are not comprised of favorable carbohydrate.

If you are interested in muffins, you might want to try some of the muffin recipes that use oat flour, as opposed to jiffy mix.  Although it would still be unfavorable carb, oat flour is a slightly better choice than wheat flour.

I made the jiffy muffins for a snack. You have to make the mini muffins. they were a great treat. I was struggling with my snacks, so now it makes it easy.
