This recipe contains two of the best fruit and vegetable ingredients with incredible benefits for our bodies. Inspired by what is best for my babies to eat, I created this recipe after trying to get them to eat spinach and homemade muffins for a while. And the best part is they can take them for lunch or dinner.
