A few weeks ago, Andrew from Linda’s Diet Delites asked if I’d try and write a review for Light Touch Muffins. He sent me a sample of the Zucchini flavor and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. I mean it’s a zucchini muffin! How good could it possibly be? Well, I think you’ll be surprised by the answer.
The first thing I noticed about the muffin was it’s size. Wrapped in a clear plastic it was a normal size muffin, not a “diet size”. You know what I mean right? You hear a muffin is one point and you assume tiny bite size laughable serving. Not so, It was a nice “normal” sized muffin.
I opened the package and was immediately impressed by how moist it was and the smell was amazing! I took a bite and I was in heaven. Seriously, I’m not exaggerating. It was THAT good!
The husband happened to walk by the kitchen and I was like, “you HAVE to try this!”
He, of course, rolled his eyes, as he always does when I ask him to try something. He then let’s out a, “Oh… that’s good!”
So there you have it, Roni and husband approved muffins! Now we only tried the zucchini so I can’t vouch for the other flavors but I’d sure like to try them now!
The muffin I ate was 110 calories, 1g of fat and 5g of fiber. Click here to check out the other flavors and nutritional information on Linda’s site where you can purchase them online.
Thanks Andrew!

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

Now if I had a new food product I wanted reviewed…that’s the kind of review I would want to get! Maybe you should go give a certain candidate advice about authenticity! lol
i’ve tried these muffins also, and they are definitely amazing! They’re the perfect size and flavor (sweet, but not overly so & a hint of spices). While light touch makes a couple other flavors, zucchini is by far my favorite.
Also- try toasting it in the oven, or slicing it in half to use a toaster. The muffins are even better hot, with a warm, moist center and crispy top.
oh, those sound yummy. Maybe a christmas present to myself…
Andrew’s Diet Delites is fantastic!! You can order everything over the web and it is delivered quickly. The chocolate muffins (100 calories) are delicious and they have bagels too!! Check it out! It is great!!

Roni…Could you tell me how many grams are in these muffins? The photo for the nutritional information doesn’t enlarge enough for me to be able to read it. Also, how do these compare (taste/flavor/etc.) to VitaTops? It seems the calorie counts are the same, but I didn’t compare the other nutritionals. Thanks for the feedback!!
Sherri – I threw away my package. I’ll contact Andrew again, he maybe able to spread some light on the subject.
Roni I am a guy and I enjoy reading your blog all the time. I have a 6 year old with his 7 year birthday on Wednesday. I post all the time on the WW men’s boards. I am down 108.4 lbs. on 65 weeks. This is one place I use to keep me OP. Thank you.
Oh and thanks for the heads up with Linda’s (or Andrews LOL) diet delights. I have been looking for a place to get the Alternative Bagels here on the east coast as well as WW friendly stuff.
I will try and post here more often.
Thanks Roni! I really appreciate it.
I love Linda’s Diet Delites! They are easy to order through the mail and get here fast. You’ll love their muffins and other goodies. Check it out!

Sheri,
I’m slightly confused by your question in regards to “how many grams?” Do you mean what is the size of the muffin? In that case it is 3.25 oz. I would need to search around on google to find a converter to grams.
Let me know if that answers your question.
Thanks,
Andrew
lou,
I’m so glad to hear you found us. We seem to have many customers like you who can’t find the Western Bagels on the east cost. Fortunately, we sell them one at a time so you don’t have to buy a whole case. And we put them on sale about a month ago so they are a little bit cheaper than before :)
-Andrew
Sherri,
Forgot to add my thoughts on the taste of the VitaMuffins as compared to Light Touch.
We sell both so I won’t say either way because they are both good muffins – I’ll leave that up to Roni.
-Andrew
Thanks Andrew! I was trying to get an idea as compared to the VitaMuffin Tops. Thise are 2 oz. and 55g, so I was curious about these stats for Light Touch. I don’t believe there is a calculator to convert the ounces to grams, as the grams take into account the fiber content, etc. At least that was my understanding, please correct me if I am off base. Thanks again!
Sherri,
Now I see what you mean about the grams. I’ll take a look at the packaging to see if I can provide more info.
-Andrew
Thanks Andrew! I apologize my original message wasn’t clear.
Andrew and/or Roni,
Have either of you had a chance to look at the number of grams in these muffins? Also, Roni what are your thoughts when comparing these to the VitaMuffins? Thanks!
Sherri – I’m sorry I thought Andrew got you.
I don’t know the grams but the oz are 3.25 oz. They are a little bit bigger.
AS for the taste, I only tried the zucchini which was AWESOME. I thought it was moister then the vita muffins but it’s hard to compare chocolate with zucchini. It was different but really good!
Sherri,
Sorry for the delay. The holidays have been a little crazy.
As Roni mentioned the net weight is 3.25 oz.
On the label it says the serving size is one muffin and one muffin is 92g.
I hope that helps.
-Andrew
Thanks for the information Andrew, I really appreciate it. Hope you had a great holiday. Amazing stats on those muffins. I’m definitely going to have to try them!!
Sherri
