PRODUCT: Garden Lites Veggie Muffins
The producers of our favorite Garden Lites Veggie Soufflés have introduced new Veggie Muffins: a fluffy carrot muffin and a deep chocolate zucchini muffin.
The all natural Veggie Muffins line is made of 1/3 fresh vegetables. Each muffin is shrink-wrapped for easy portability. Just let the frozen muffins defrost naturally or heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds; you’ll have an extremely moist treat that’s right-sized (not super-sized) at 120 calories per muffin (3 Weight Watchers points). The recipe contains eggs, but is dairy free, gluten free, nut free and soy free. The line is certified kosher by Star-K. |

Pair Veggie Muffins with coffee or tea for quick breakfast, tuck in with your lunch or for a healthful snack. You can keep them in the office freezer—although you’ll have to disguise them so co-workers don’t polish them off. While the muffins don’t have as much veggie content as the larger-portion souffles, each muffin is made from 1/3 fresh vegetables and comprises not quite one daily serving of vegetables. But hey, they’re muffins! The yummy muffins are available at select Costco locations and other retailers. Check the store locator for the store nearest you. The four-pack will retail for around $4.99, and the Costco 14-pack is a bargain at $9.99. Garden Lites calls itself “the delicious vegetable company.” We agree.
