These egg white muffins make for the perfect morning or afternoon snack. If you're on your way out you can grab a few from the refrigerator and you are set to go. This will keep you going with enough energy until your next meal. I make these on Sunday's and I eat two or three for an afternoon snack or when I'm getting home late from school I will have it for dinner.
