If you are anything like me, then you probably like desserts more than any other kind of food. Have you ever craved for a piece of chocolate cake that's not thousands of calories? A few years ago while I was grocery shopping, I came cross Vitatops and they have changed my perspective on desserts ever since.
According to their website, Vitalicious is "leading the way to a holistic approach to maximize satisfaction with minimum calories, with products that are low in fat and high in fiber and nutrients." I agree with this because Vitalicious products, especially the Vitatops, are sweet and savory while still providing the health benefits and nutrients that are needed for a healthy diet. Not only are Vitatops delicious, but they range from 100-150 calories per serving, which is incredible. Not only do you get a tasty dessert, but you get it at a quarter of the calories.
I have tried nearly all Vitalicious products, but Vitatops are by far my favorite. I like describing Vitatops as a thick layer of cake similar to a muffin's top, but they have the same amount of flavor and sweetness as that of a regular slice of cake or a whole muffin. There are several different Vitatop flavors and I am going to rank them for you, so you know what to reach for the next time you go grocery shopping.
5. Apple Crumb
Apples are my favorite fruit and this apple crumb Vitatop tastes very similar to a slice of apple pie. The apple taste is definitely there, but is not overpowering. The crumbs give it a crunch and a flavor reminiscent of biting into the crust of apple pie. I am personally not a huge fan of fruit flavored desserts, but this apple crumb Vitatop definitely makes me think twice about that!
I would give this a 9/10 because it is extremely flavorful and tasty, but the fact that it is lacking a chocolate element for me makes it nearly perfect.
4. Banana Chocolate Chip
Banana bread is one of my favorite desserts especially alongside a cup of tea. This chocolate chip banana Vitatop tastes identical to any regular banana bread you would buy at the bakery. It has that sweet banana taste that makes it taste amazing, but the chocolate chips give it that extra kick that enhances the taste. I personally like this heated up. The chocolate chips and the bananas are gooey and meltable, something that reminds me of childhood.
I would give this Vitatop a 9/10 rating. The only thing that bothers me is that it tastes somewhat thick unless it is heated a bit, but otherwise it is a perfect swap for a high-calorie slice of banana bread.
3. Chocolate Peanut Butter
Reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite candy, but they are also 100 calories for a small cup that leaves me hungry and wanting more and more. These chocolate peanut butter Vitatops satisfy my craving and are insanely good. The peanut butter when heated is viscous and melts right in with the chocolate, and creates this perfect chocolate peanut butter combination. Not only is this savory and sweet, but this is thick and soft, which is two things that are a must in having a perfect dessert.
I would give this a 9.5/10 because I know that not everyone can eat peanut butter, but this Vitatop flavor is beyond tasty and I would recommend this to anyone who likes peanut butter in the slightest.
2. Chocolate Chip
This Vitatop flavor is honestly the better version of a cookie. It is dense, gooey, sweet, and savory all at once. You get a taste of chocolate in every bite and it is amazing. Chocolate chip cookies are tasty, but these Vitatops provide the density that regular cookies are missing. If you are on the need of a quick yet satisfying snack, I would definitely recommend this because it is amazing.
I would give this a 9.8/10 because it is excellent, but for me I think it could use even more chocolate. For the average chocolate lover, I would say this is perfect because there is the perfect balance between cake and chocolate.
1. Double Chocolate Chip
Okay, these double chocolate chip Vitatops are heavenly. The chocolate cake with the chocolate chips provide a chocolate overload that a chocolate lover like me really would enjoy. You get a fork full of chocolate with every bite and it is honestly better than any other chocolate cake I have had.
I would give this a 10/10 because it is insanely delicious. I would recommend heating this to get the chocolate chips melted into the cake for the perfect gooey bite.
Final Thoughts
If you are trying to follow a healthy diet or just want a sweet treat in general, I think Vitatops are the right choice for you. Vitatops come in a wide variety of flavors that can please nearly any palate, and are a delicious and low calorie way to satisfy a sugary craving. Not only does Vitalicious make only Vitatops, but they also make brownies, energy loafs, and other delicious treats that are gluten-free and organic.
