What I do want to talk about today is ONE of my MOST favorite things to keep in the house...I hate to say it but I seldom share these with the kids, cause if I did then they'd be gone in a day. What I'm talking about you might wonder...Well its the Vita Muffins that are at your local (more high end, like Harris Teeter or Martins) grocery stores in the freezer section with the breakfast items....You can also find them on-line which is what I do and keep them in your freezer for when you want one. Triple chocolate chunk is my absolute fav! Vitalicious Triple Chocolate Chunk Vita Tops , 2-Ounce Units (Pack of 24)
These lil' babies are low in fat and only have 100 calories....Plus they have 15 of the crucial vitamins and minerals you need, including folic acid, niacin, iron, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E and more! So what are we waiting for??? Don't stop by that local coffee chain...you know which one I'm talking about! Just fix one of these and you'll know that your getting something better for you instead...(Sorry Starbucks!)

| This is what you'll need... |
1 Vita muffin, muffin tops
Instant coffee (your choice regular or decaf...I do decaf if it's later in the day)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cut of soy milk (or skim milk)
4 packets of splenda or (4tsp of sugar)
 |
| Put soy milk and water in 1st. Then add vanilla, coffee, & splenda. Break the frozen muffin into pieces and add it. Then add crushed ice...say about a cup to a cup and a half. |
 | |
| grab your handy emulsion blender, aka stick blender, and go at it. If you don't have one then a blender works just as well...I find when using my stick blender it's easier to use in the sink cause I tend to make a mess.... |
 |
| Pour into what ever cup you'd like....This does makes a large amount so if want to share you can...if not... I totally understand! Enjoy :))) |

You just reminded me how much I want to try those Vitalicious VitaTops, after hearing Hungry Girl go on & on & on about them. None of the stores in my town carry 'em, though.
This drink looks like it would be a great chocolate fix when you're looking for something a bit healthier than a chocolate malt shake or Hershey bar.
You can get them on Amazon and they have to be shipped with in 2 days so they can be frozen...they have no preservatives in them...You do have to buy them in bulk though but 24 will last more then a month...
