In my never ending struggle to get 10 more minutes of sleep, I am perpetually looking for ways to eat breakfast in a hurry. Sometimes, I get up early enough to make a proper meal, but most of the time I’m grabbing whatever’s available.
So when Vitalicious sent me a box of their VitaTops, I was curious and eager to give them a try. What’s a VitaTop? Do you remember that Seinfeld episode where Elaine has the great idea to sell nothing but muffin tops because it’s the best part anyway?
Well, that’s basically what it is, except these muffin tops are actually good for you. Each muffin top contains 100 calories, 2 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein and is all-natural, without any artificial additives or preservatives.
“These tops are good because they’re portion-controlled and a good balance of protein, fiber and carbs,” says eDiets Director of Nutrition Services Pamela Ofstein. “I would pair it with a small yogurt, cheese stick or fruit for breakfast or eat it alone as a quick snack.”
They sent me more than a dozen flavors to try, and my favorites were the BlueBran, CranBran and the Banana Nut. They also have a cornbread flavor, several chocolate varieties and a low-carb version, so there’s something for all different tastes.
They heat quickly in the toaster or microwave, so I can get those extra 10 minutes of sleep and have a healthy breakfast — it is the most important meal of the day.
You can get more nutritional info or order your own box on the Vitalicious Website, or find a store that carries them in your area with their store locator.
