Product Recommendation:


Thomas Light Multigrain English Muffins. I found this product a few years ago and named it my "super muffin". It has improved in taste quite a bit in the last year or so. I chose this product as a recommendation because it fits many of my criteria for favorite healthy foods. It has 0g of saturated and trans fats. It has a good content of fiber: 8g (that is a lot when you compare most breads, bagels and muffins). And for a total calorie of 100 per muffin this makes a great breakfast item. It also passed the taste test here with my 2 year old daughter, my husband (who has refused to eat most whole wheat products I bring home because he says they taste funny) and myself.
I like the muffin as a breakfast item, with a glass of fat free milk, and using peanut butter (I recommend the smart balance kind, or the all naturals without any added sugar or salt - the ones that are just ground peanut), or jelly, or both!
But it can also be a great snack item too. It packs well for lunches and snacks on the road. I have also frozen them and it works. You can take them out of the freezer, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds and then toast them.
Getting creative! - here is an idea. My daughter is crazy about pizza, so I often think of healthy alternatives. Use the muffin as your dought, cover with a tablespoon of tomato sauce and cheese. You have your own mini pizza.
Good week everyone, and please leave me some comments on things you would like to hear more about or any ideas and questions.
