So I have a co-worker to thank for introducing me to VitaTops; an amazing 100 calorie cake-like muffin “top” that is actually NOT full of crap.

I didn’t believe her when she raved about it. I thought something has to give – they must be tasteless or a weird consistency….something! I tried one today and it was so rich and chocolatey, a moist cake-like texture, dotted with a few chocolate chips. I kept looking at the package to be sure I was reading right:

- 7 grams fibre

- 1.5 grams fat

- 4 grams protein

- 28% of your DV of Calcium

- 100 calories

I am always looking for new 100 calorie snack ideas. It’s a great number of calories for a snack and people are often amazed at what I can pack into 100 calories. If it was up to me, my snacks would be so much bigger and sweeter but I have to be smart and sensible…and this is why I’m really excited with the VitaTops.

They’re a Canadian Company and I went to the website to see what else they had. Imagine my excitement when I saw you can order online AND they have 12 packs for some ridiculously crazy cheap price. So I was happily  punching in my info to see what the shipping would be and can you believe it- from Ontario to Vancouver from a CANADIAN company it was $25! I figured whatever I would have saved in their low prices was obviously over run by the unbelievable shipping cost.

I did pick some up at Superstore; they’re in the frozen dessert section and average to less than $1 per top. Not bad! I found myself very satisfied and the Chocolate Beast within me settled down to a quiet slumber once I was done (and was licking the wrapper clean!)

Go ahead and experiment with making up your own 100 calorie snacks and take them to work or school…remember fruit is always a great snack of course!

If you have any snacks you swear by, let me know- I’d love to hear it!

Snack well and live happy.
