I was poking around on the internet a few weeks ago and found a review for a deep chocolate muffin by Vitalicious that folks are just raving about. I am a certified chocoholic, so anything that is chocolate and good for you just doesn’t seem quite right. To begin with, I was wary of the name Vitalicious (anything with Vitamins in the name is probably nasty, right?).
However, my curiosity got the best of me and I convinced my husband to brave road construction and go 30 miles into St. Louis to a store that actually carried these Deep Chocolate Vitamuffins. And boy, was it worth it.
These muffins are not a bit vitaminy (is that a word?). They have enough chocolate chips chunks to satisfy my chocolate addition. Plus, the muffin itself is very moist and filling (6 grams of fiber in a 2 oz. muffin). I absolutely love, love, love them.
The downer is availability. They are hard to find in stores. You can visit the Vitalicious site to see where they are sold near you here. Some Whole Foods carry them, but in the St. Louis area, they were hard to find. I think the best way to get them (after you initially try them) is online and in bulk. They freeze well, so buying them in bulk is not a big deal.
If you are on Weight Watchers, or are just looking for a healthy alternative to Hostess Cupcakes, I would definitely pick up a pack of these and give them a try. Vitamuffins are only 100 calories for a 2 oz. serving, high in fiber, low in sodium, low in fat, contain no cholesterol and are baked with whole wheat. Not to mention the 15 vitamins and minerals!
What are you waiting for? Treat yourself. Vitalicious is Delicious!
