I recently discovered this amazing Power Blend from Mann’s Fresh Vegetables and I’m obsessed! I’ve been eating this with nearly every meal lately, which led me to make an ultra delicious & savory muffin using this blend! These Powered Up Veggie Muffins are perfect for breakfast or dinner – and especially with the Meatloaf Meatballs that are coming to my Invincible Inspiration members tomorrow!
February happens to be Heart Health Month, and the Power Blend from Mann’s Fresh Vegetables is perfect for just that! This heart health-boosting blend includes: broccoli, kale, carrots, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, and cabbage! These happen to be all of my favorite veggies, and I LOVE that they’re already pre-cut, so I can just sauté them up in a pan, or toss them into this muffin mix!
I can assure you, this is one nutrient dense blend! Broccoli is high in Vitamin C, and can help to make you less susceptible to heart disease. Kale is an amazing source of magnesium, and according to a Harvard study, magnesium can lower risk of sudden health failure in women. Brussels sprouts are a good source of protein, iron, potassium, folate, and fiber, all of which can reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer. Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which are powerful antioxidants that can combat free radicals that cause heart disease. Need any more reasons to add this Power Blend into your diet?!
It’s a common misconception in the real food world that eating a paleo diet means that you’re only eating a ton of meat. In reality, what you’re eating is a TON of vegetables, and Mann’s Fresh Vegetables makes it so easy to add fresh veggies to every meal!
I’ve eaten these Power Blend veggies so many different ways now, and they’re all delicious! I love having it served raw as a slaw, tossed with my Ranch Dressing or Chipotle Aioli, quickly sautéed, stir-fried and steamed. I’ve also added a handful to my protein shake after the gym, and of course, these Powered Up Veggie Muffins!
You can find a list of stores near you that carry Mann’s Fresh Vegetables on their website, and check out their other amazing products as well!

Is it possible to cook the veggies a little before using them in the muffins or do they breakdown from being cooked in the muffin in the oven?
Hi Carolyn! You could definitely cook the veggies beforehand, although they do completely cook down when baked in the muffins, so I don’t personally think it’s necessary. If you do decide to cook the veggies, just let them cool before mixing them into the batter. 🙂
Is it OK to use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
Hi Vanessa! Unfortunately coconut flour isn’t something that can easily be subbed out, as it’s really absorbent compared to other flours, and would use fewer eggs.
Can you use coconut oil instead of avocado oil?
Absolutely! Just be sure it’s melted and cooled so that you can stir it in without scrambling the eggs 🙂
These look so good! We don’t have that power up veggie blend in grocery stores where I live (Ontario). Would subbing in another veggie blend, like broccoli slaw mix work with some carrot added in?
That will definitely work!
Did you calculate the macros for these?
Hi! I don’t count macros for my recipes, but you could easily look it up on an online calculator if you’d like! 🙂
We have a coconut allergy in the family. Can the coconut flour be replaced with a different flour and the coconut milk be replaced with almond milk or something different?
Hi Trena! Unfortunately coconut flour is one that isn’t easily subbed out, as it’s incredibly absorbent compared to any other flour.The coconut milk is easy to substitute, although I would use cashew milk as it’s thicker than almond milk. 🙂
Hi, can these be frozen? I live alone and so shouldn’t really eat 9 haha
I haven’t tried freezing them myself, but I’m sure they’d freeze great!
Is there a sub for arrowroot flower?
Tapioca starch/flour would work!
