Vitatops....yummy

Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip VitaTops (12 Muffin Tops)



Hey All~
Just wanted to make you aware of these great little snacks! I had heard quite a bit of buzz about VitaTops, but just assumed they were too good to be true (honestly, when have muffin tops ever been a good thing?). But when they appeared in the URockGirl Blog (www.urockgirl.com) earlier this week (which is a source I trust as it's written by one of the dietitians for my competition team), I decided to give them a try.

I found them in the freezer section at Target near the frozen waffles. They are 100 calories and the first two ingredients are water and whole wheat flour. They have 9 grams of fiber and don't ask me how--but they qualify as a "whole grain". Oh, and the best part--they are delicious!:)


If you are dieting, you could use these as an every now and then "cheat" to satisfy a craving. If you are maintaining, you could throw one of these in during the week and count it as a starch. They do have some sugar and chocolate drops in them, so I wouldn't make them a staple in your nutrition, but having one every now and then isn't anything to feel a bit guilty about! Some of you have really like items from the Protein Bakery and this would be right up the same alley! Try them out and let me know what you think!
