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!

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

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
