Food Swap: Which Muffin Is Healthiest?

Muffins are really just small cakes, so think of them as a treat, not a healthful breakfast food. But take heart, muffin-lovers: You can indulge in sugar-free muffins! And they won't send your energy levels crashing or give you belly fat.

Instead of reaching for Otis Spunkmeyer's chocolate chip muffin, which has 32 grams of sugar (more than double what I recommend in an entire day), try the velvety chocolate muffin from VitaMuffin. It’s sugar-free and made with maltitol, a sugar alcohol. Neither sugar nor alcohol, sugar alcohols are a type of carbohydrate. Don't think you're sacrificing taste for sugar – these chocolate treats are delicious! Check them out at www.vitalicious.com.
