Hostess 100 Calorie Packs Banana Streusel Muffin Review

Lucy Brandon
It is a fact of life, muffins are just good eating. When else did Mom let you have cake for breakfast, except when she made blueberry muffins? While our tastes have evolved to include more than just the standard blueberry muffin, as adults the majority of us still love our muffins. But, as many people are becoming more health conscious, the downside to the muffin issue is the calorie count; even the "healthiest" whole grain muffin can contain more fat and calories than a glazed donut. It is good to know that Hostess has come out with 100 Calorie Packs Banana Streusel Muffins. At only 100 calories they are good for your waistline, but are they good for your taste buds?

Hostess 100 Calorie Packs Banana Streusel Muffins: Flavor

These muffins are definitely not the best I have ever tasted. They have a "fake" banana taste, like a banana hard candy, only slightly tastier. The texture is good, more substantial than one would expect from a 100 calorie muffin pack. All in all Hostess 100 Calorie Packs Banana Streusel Muffins are a product I would by again, though maybe not a snack cabinet staple.
