Review of Vitamuffin Sugar Free Chocolate Muffins!

Im always looking for delicious, healthy desserts that are low in calories and fat. Thats why I was pleased to find Vitamuffin velvety chocolate, sugar free muffins at my local grocery store. I was immediately attracted to the eye catching box which showed a photo of a chocolate muffin which was proclaimed to be sugar free on the box. Who needs added sugar? These healthy muffins are sweetened with maltitol which gives them a sweet taste without all the calories and carbohydrates that can add excess weight and increase the risk of certain diseases.

After carefully checking the nutritional profile of sugar free Vitamuffins, I was quite impressed with what I saw on the label::

Calories 80
Calories from fat 15
Net carbohydrates 6 grams
Sodium 240 mg.
Protein 5 mg.
Fiber 7 grams

This is an excellent nutritional profile compared to most desserts on the market. It also boasts 15 vitamins and minerals and is trans fat free.

Without hesitation, I placed theVitamuffin box into my cart.

Im like a child when I have a new, healthy dessert to try! As soon as I got back to my car, I immediately opened one of the clear plastic containers and "sampled" a bite of the chocolate Vitamuffin healthy muffin. It had a soft, moist, rich chocolate taste that really satisfied my sweet tooth. I could imagine heating one up in the microwave, adding a little sugar free vanilla ice cream, a sprinkle of nuts, and whipped topping to create a decadent yet, healthy, dessert treat. I could also imagine having these muffins for breakfast as an alternate to cereal or a cereal bar. Theyre also a nice treat to take to work to enjoy with a mid morning cup of coffee or hot tea.

I was excited to learn that Vitamuffins come in several flavors including Apple Berry Bran, Blue Bran, tangy Cran Bran, Multi Bran, and sugar-free Banana Nut Muffins. The one drawback to Vitamuffins is these healthy muffins are a bit expensive. For a box of four muffins, I paid $5.99 at my local grocery store which comes to around $1.25 per muffin. To me, this is not an unreasonable price to pay for convenience.

All in all, I really enjoyed sugar free, chocolate Vitamuffins and will probably purchase them on a regular basis. I would recommend these delicious, healthy muffins to anyone who wants a delicious, decadent tasting, chocolate treat without all the calories, fat, and sugar.
