There is no denying that we need to eat healthier.  I know it, but it can be so hard at times.  If you let the kids (or husband) see / know that healthy is even a thought, you would swear that they are thinking you are trying to poison them... At least that is how it goes in our house!   
When I was contacted about reviewing a new Gluten- Free Veggie Muffin from Garden Lites, I was thrilled.. but was secretly hoping that they would arrive when no one noticed so I could serve them without the box being seen...  Let's be real "Veggie Muffins" is not something that my husband will jump at!  
So- they arrived and I was thrilled!!  The Veggie Muffins come frozen - but let me tell you, they sure don't taste that way when you go to enjoy them!   The come in a box of 4 with flavors such as Blueberry Oat, Zucchini Banana Chocolate Chip, Zucchini Chocolate, Carrot Berry and Golden Corn. I am NEVER one to pass up chocolate - at least I can not think of a time that I did...   
So, I tried the Zucchini Chocolate one - amazing!   I will say, I was TOTALLY IMPRESSED with the individual packaging (with heating instructions and flavors printed on each package!)  The individual packaging allowed me to open and mix around the flavors I tried.  
They were super moist and full of flavor.  I honestly did not taste any of the veggies, but I have to say that I LOVE veggies, as does Broxton.   I served the Carrot Berry muffins for breakfast one day and Broxton enjoyed it... It was just right so that you could totally pass it off as homemade, if you are like me and have NO BAKING SKILLS!    



 


I really enjoyed them nice and hot, but it says you can enjoy them at room temperature as well.  I am thinking that this would be a great snack to take to the pool this summer...Or even an added treat to throw into lunch next school year.  I did cook dinner one night and then added the corn muffins to the plates as an added bonus.  I did not bother to tell anyone that they were frozen and "veggie muffins" but I did smile as they were enjoyed as if I had made them myself!!!!   

If you are looking for a great way to add a bit more Veggie to your Meal - look into Veggie Muffins!!!!  (Check them out - I am already wanting to try a few of their souffles!)

  1. Yep, sign me up for this one. I'd use these for the school lunches or the 'I'm hungry' moans I hear daily after school each and every day. ;)

  3. I noticed quite a few more items are now gluten free. I supposed I'd like to try it out too.
    But these muffins sounds yummy! I like when you can't tell they were frozen!
