Low Calorie, High Fiber English Muffins - Yum!
I was introduced to these little things about a month or two ago by some women that I work with. One of them was counting calories, and so she was very conscious of cutting calories wherever she could. That’s how she happened on Thomas’ English Muffins that are Low Calorie, high fiber versions of their original delicious english muffins made out of sourdough.
The difference with these new low calorie high fiber ones is that they only contain 100 calories each (and yes, they are the same size!), and they also contain a whopping 8 grams of dietary fiber in each muffin. This is definitely my new favorite breakfast food.
I toast one up, and spray a few squirts of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter zero calorie butter flavored spray, and voila, I’ve got myself a pretty filling little breakfast for only about 100 calories!
Even if I’m really hungry, I can still eat two, and only come in at 200 calories for a nice, filling breakfast. Either that, or I’ll pair one of these low cal muffins with a banana, and the banana gives me even more fiber, and a little protein and potassium to sustain my energy.
You can even combine them with a natural low fat peanut butter as my friend does, and have a very filling, protein packed, lasting breakfast that will help boost and maintain energy for a few hours.
I’m sure you could think of other ways to add this delicious invention to your diet as well. I’ve even toasted one, and added a cooked veggie burger with a slice of soy cheese or lowfat cheese, added a small slice of avocado and had a delicious, filling lunch.
The avocado contains fat and omega 3 acids to help keep you full and keep your mind functioning at peak levels. I would encourage you to try them, they’re pretty good!
