At Veggies Made Great, our mission is to get America Hooked on Veggies. Why? Because only 1 in 10 Americans eat the daily recommended amount of veggies. Fad diets come and go, and health advice changes over time, but there is one health message that has never changed: Eat your vegetables.

Vegetables are the first and primary ingredient in every Veggies Made Great product.  Whether the vegetables that make up the product are hidden, like zucchini and carrots in our Double Chocolate Muffins, or the highlight of the product like spinach in our Spinach Egg White Frittatas, Veggies Made Great makes eating your veggies delicious.

A lot has changed since our inception in 2009. One of the more recent changes, is the evolution of our brand name from Garden Lites to Veggies Made Great®. We believe that “Veggies Made Great” is a much stronger articulation of who we are and what we do.

Our products meet the growing consumer demand for healthy plant-based food, having vegetables as the first and primary ingredient. All items are gluten-free, nut-free, and remarkably delicious. Our products have the added benefit of high protein,  are made with only clean and simple ingredients and are nutritionally smart (low in fat, calories, sugar and salt.) All of which makes them a great handheld snack or on-the-go meal. Find our items in the freezer section of your local grocer!

We are committed to helping you and your family find new and delicious ways to eat more veggies

Leave the six-pack at home, and bring these Mudslide Cupcakes instead to get the party started.

Need:

  • Veggies Made Great Double Chocolate Muffins

  • 1 cup Kahlúa or another coffee-flavored liqueur

  • 8 tablespoon (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted through a strainer

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream

  • Pinch of salt

  1. Prepare Double Chocolate Muffins according to directions. Let cool completely if microwaving.

  2. In a mixing bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, reduce the speed to medium, and add half of the confectioners’ sugar, Bailey’s, and salt, beating to incorporate.

  3. Add the rest of the confectioners’ sugar, beating on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until very smooth and creamy. Make sure to scrape all excess on sides of the bowl.

  4. Slowly spoon 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of Kahlúa over the top of each muffin. Let them sit for 10 minutes to allow the Kahlúa to be absorbed.

  5. Top each muffin with generous amount of frosting.

  6. Enjoy! (And keep this adult treat out of the hands of anyone under 21)
