Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Yakult is launching a new online Brighter Breakfast Selector, to bring some delicious, nutritious variety to your morning. The recipes aren’t all made with Yakult don’t panic! But they are each based on a nutrient that is designed to kick-start the day!

I have tried and the Brighter Breakfast Selector is very clever! You can get a recipe by simply selecting a nutrient, breakfast type (brunch, celebration, weekend, everyday and to go), then ingredients you fancy. The selector will then pick out one of the many recipes for you to try. You will also have access to the whole library of recipes so you can simply scroll through to find one you like.

I picked the nutrients to be A, D, E & K vitamins, breakfast type “to go” and ingredients “oats”, the Brighter Breakfast Selector suggested Blueberry Muffins for breakfast, yummy! Blueberry Muffins
