Taste Test Tuesday: Thomas' Whole Wheat English Muffins
Thomas' Hearty Grains 100% Whole Wheat English Muffins - Teen Friendly!
You now have another whole-wheat choice in the bread aisle. If you want a little change from the usual whole wheat toast in the morning, there's a whole wheat English muffin you can try. Each English muffin contributes 3 grams of fiber and 130 calories. I like to eat breakfasts that have at least 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber and this one comes close with 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. My teen daughters are even liking these English Muffins; one spreads a little natural style peanut butter on them, pairs it with a banana and calls it breakfast!
The 5th ingredient is honey (it's comes after yeast and wheat gluten) and the packaging boasts the banner, "now with no high fructose corn syrup." That shows you how high fructose corn syrup is becoming the new bad boy; if a product doesn't have it, you're going to hear about it.

Actually, I can do one better...Thomas' has come out with a light multi-grain English muffin that has 100 calories and 8 grams of fiber per serving, and best of all, contains no high fructose corn syrup! My family and I love them...

I agree with anonymous up there. I never used to like them but i do now! they are so tasty! dont get me wrong, they arent as good as a regular english muffin but they are yummy. i use them for breakfast (i either have it with light butter, RF cream cheese, or put 2 eggs with a piece of FF cheese on them!) and for lunch i load it up with whatever lunch fixings i want...ham, turkey, tuna, etc. the possibilities are endless!!!

I, too, agree wtih Anonymous. I am diabetic and as my afternoon snack, I eat one Lite Multi grain muffin with 2 tsp. of natural peanut butter and sugar free jelly. YUM! YUM! YUM! (Only one carb and one fat.)
I love Thomas'light multi-grain English muffin - I use them all the time now.
Delicious and only 1 point on Weight Watcher's Flex program!
Another alternative that's great is at Trader Joe's-whole wheat mini bagels! I'm diabetic and these only have 30 grams of carbs(saves the temptation of eating a whole, full-sized bagel!)
I agree too. I was eating the 100 Thomas's muffins, but "I found the light and they are even better. I am actually looking for a recipe so I can try to make my own.
I also love the light multi-grain English muffins, but I just realized that their main ingredient is unbleached, enriched wheat flour. Isn't that whole wheat flour that has been processed into white flour? The 100% Whole Wheat Muffins have just plain Whole Wheat Flour listed as their first ingredient.
