I avoid muffins like the plague because they are full of calories and fat. Bad. Bad. Bad.However, they are delicious so it makes me sad that I cannot eat them.
Hungry-girl.com (an awesome diet blog) is always raving about vitalicious vitamuffins. I was very skeptical of them because really how good can a 100-calorie muffin be?
Well vitamuffins are DELICIOUS. I bought the chocolate ones at Giant (they are in the freezer section), and it tastes like chocolate cake. But it's awesome because it has the following:
- Only 100 Calories
- 50% of your daily iron requirement (this is good for me as I am now anemic and need to actually pay attention to how much iron I eat each day)
- Only 1.5 grams of fat
- 3 grams of protein
- 6 grams of fiber
- Lots of vitamins (hence the name vitamuffin)
I am now a convert. I owe hungry-girl.com an apology for not believing her.
And now, I have something new that I can eat for breakfast. Yay. If only they came in lemon poppy seed too (my favorite). Oh well, you can't have everything!
Interesting! I find most muffins too dry, but I will eat my mom's homemade blueberry muffins. I'll have to look for them next time I'm at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteYour on your iPod reminded me that I need to add Tracy Chapman to my iPod. I have a bunch of CDs, but I haven't added them yet. Travesty!
You clearly have never opened my freezer - these are almost always in there. And, you can get the mix to bake them yourself but they're not as good. The recipe calls for regular chocolate chips, though!
