There’s just something about citrus that I love so much.  I think it’s the bright, fresh and tart flavor it gives baked goods such amazing taste.

A delicious lemon poppyseed muffin is one of my very favorite breakfast foods and it’s the first thing I order when out at a coffee shop.

I decided to bring that love home and add in some fresh orange juice and zest to make these Citrus Poppyseed Muffins.  They’re moist, delicious and bursting with sweet and tart citrus flavor

You know how certain foods you eat and drink can bring back instant memories?  That’s how I feel about tea.  My mother loves chamomile tea and every time I have a cup at home, I think of her.

So when I was at Walmart recently, walking down the coffee and tea aisle, I spotted these NEW Bigelow Teas; Green Tea with Ginger Plus Probiotics, Lavender Chamomile Plus Probiotics and Lemon Ginger with Probiotics, I immediately tossed the first two into my cart.

Not only are the flavors mouthwatering but they also contain probiotics!  All 3 teas have probiotics which helps promote healthy digestion.   So, not only what you are drinking is delicious, it has added benefits as well.  It helps with our goals to live a healthier lifestyle.

The Bigelow family hand selects each ingredient carefully to deliver an uncompromised tea experience. Their blend has been combined with Ganeden-BC30, an innovation that helps maintain a healthy balance in your digestive tract when used as part of a healthy diet.

Bigelow tea has been one of our families favorite teas not only for its quality and taste but because it’s proudly made in the US and each ingredient in these teas has been carefully selected hence the amazing taste.

I went home with my tea and decided to whip up these Citrus Poppyseed Muffins to go with them.

Whether it’s in the morning or before bed, I love to boil some hot water, sit down with my Bigelow Lavender Chamomile Plus Probiotics and eat a Citrus Poppyseed muffin.  It’s the perfect start to the day and the perfect way to end an evening.

These Citrus Poppyseed muffins are moist, bursting with citrus flavor and kissed with a sprinkle of sugar!
