VitaMuffins?

Ok, guys. Some other users have mentioned VitaMuffins to me and I'm seeing them advertised on my MFP page. Can you tell me about them? I've never heard of them before and I'd rather get experience than read about it on their website. I understand there are a bunch of Vita-products out there. Which are good? Are they all pretty healthy, nutritious and "better than an apple" as their website says?

Are they worth a special trip to the grocery store (assuming they sell them at your average store)?

    Amazing, the sugar free choco one tastes like chocolate lava cake if you toast it. Def worth the cash to help your sweet tooth. They sell them at some groceries, but I buy mine at Target, they are cheaper there :) Try a box for fun, they are fab!

    I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but, I've had Vita-Tops. They're basically organic muffin tops (found em in the organic freezer section at the grocery).

    The only kind I've tried was the chocolate. 100 Calories, 9g Fiber, 4g Protein.

    && heated up in the microwave, were pretty dag on good.

    Again, if this isn't what you're talking about I'm sorry.

    I recently saw a thread on them and decided to try them because people made them sound so good. Ummmm NO! EWWWW!! Didn't like it at all! I tried the Apple Crumb VitaTop. Total waste of my money.

    Maybe I should have tried a Chocolate one

    OH. MY. GOD! They are absolutely amazing! I have the Deep Chocolate VitaTops and the Deep Chocolate VitaMuffin. My mom said the VitaBrownies are the bomb! (My word, not hers, lol). Do it!! I got them at Kroger in the organic freezer section.

    They really are good...a little dry but worth the 100 cal. They have lots of flavors on their website but I've only had the Double chocolate ones. Nuke them for about 15 secs & add a little scoop of cool whip

    Actually YOU'RE the girl I heard about them from. hehe.

    Ok, so they're in the freezer section. I might try a box over the weekend. I often have a hard time meeting my calories for the day so this seems like it'd be a better option than, say, the candy I've been eating to get enough calories.

    I haven't had a dry one yet. But then again, I put mine in the microwave for about 15 - 20 seconds to get the chocolate chips all melty and gooey.

    I LOVE vitatops. They have 100 calories, come in a variety of GREAT tasting flavors, are filling and a great source of fiber. I keep them in the freezer and when I am ready to eat one, I pop it into the microwave for about 30 seconds and I am in heaven for a few minutes :P

    Haha! That's great! Yeah, that is why I got them too. There are days that I just have to have chocolate and they are much better and healthier than eating cookies or a candy bar.

    OMG I love them!

    I have one for breakfast every morning! The chocolate vita tops are my favorite!! I like the corn vita top and the banana nut vita tops also.

    I also love the brownie! I have one of those for a mid afternoon snack when I need something sweet. I hope they come out with a chocolate chip cookie!! =)

    Did I tell you that I love them??

    Edited because I obviously could not spell chocolate!! =)

    LOVE the chocolate ones.

    Every now and then the hubs and I order some of the flavors we can't get at the Target from their website (Target mainly has Deep Chocolate, which is good as well).

    The peanut butter is even super good.

    I microwave them and get them piping hot to where they're all fudgy. It's a great way to eat a lot of chocolatey goodness and not feel guilty.

    I also use the Golden Corn ones as a cornbread side at dinner sometimes. Easier and less calories than trying to make any from mix cornbread.

    This is all really helpful. Keep it coming with favorite flavors and whatnot. Plus if you have any other healthy snacks like this that I've never known about but should've!

    I, personally, like the Fiber One bars. But these might be even better for me.

    Hungry girl has a great idea for vitamuffin (or top) as a dessert (or snack I guess).

    I've done this with a chocolate muffin, strawberry yogurt and some strawberries.... (I don't have the exact amount on how much fruit, but for yogurt is was basically one little one serving cup of it - brand of your choice)

    Heat muffin, crumble. Put down half of crumble in bowl, top half of fruit and yogurt. Repeat. its a yummy little parfait. Chocolate strawberry in my case. Awesome.

    I live in Greater Vancouver, BC and I have found them in the freezer section in Save On Foods, Safeway and at Costco (much cheaper). I haven't tried them yet, but I am planning on buying a box of chocolate ones this weekend to satisfy my sweet tooth. :)

    I tried them recently after seeing them raved about on here and I love them. I actually let myself have one each night after dinner as a reward if I have been "good" that day (food wise lol!)

    I just bought the 100 calorie muffins in the freezer section last night and allowed myself one for dessert. DELICIOUS! Especially if you have a sweet tooth. Pack full of fiber too :)

    Those are so delicious! I put the Deep Chocolate VitaTop in the microwave then add 1 tablespoon peanut butter on top. It's still warm and just chocolately gooey peanut butter goodness.
