I tried the Deep Chocolate Vitatops after I had looked at the reviews on Amazon, and there were several that mentioned an unpleasant after-taste. I heated my Chocolate Vitatop in the microwave for 20 seconds per suggestions on Amazon reviews, added sliced strawberries, and whipped topping – delicious! Then came the really unpleasant after-taste – tried brushing my teeth and eating cherries to get rid of the yucky taste in my mouth. Read the ingredients and the only thing I can think of that would leave such a bad taste is the zinc – I have zinc throat lozenges that have a similar unpleasant taste. I will not be eating these again, but for those who like them and have a Costco nearby, that’s the cheapest place to get them.

Initially I was purchasing the Vitatops (Deep Chocolate – YUMMY) from the grocery store. However, it was getting expensive munching on one every day so I went online and purchased a pack of mixes.

The Vitalicious chocolate brownie mix is GREAT. More moist than the Vitatops and oh so good when heated up and served with frozen yogurt or light ice cream. My baking tip here would be to use Reynold’s “Release” Foil – you won’t need ANY type of non-stick spray and I swear that nothing sticks to it.

If you are even slightly sensitive to sugar substitutes, STAY AWAY from the Sugar Free Banana Nut mix. I have no problem with diet sodas and sugar-free candy, but eating just ONE of the sugar free banana nut muffins had me suffering from stomach cramps and bloating ALL DAY. It was so bad that I asked for a refund….and that was in itself a painful process!!! I paid more for shipping the product back to them than they refunded me – so in other words, not a true refund.

With all that said, I love the Vitalicious brownies and will be ordering more mixes. It satisfies my cravings for dessert and is HEALTHY.

Just tried these! Not crazy about the banana nut, they are very dry. But so are the chocolate chip! The great thing about the chocolate is that you get a chip in just about every bite and if you’ve left it out to thaw, the chip makes a really nice, moist addition. I’m doing weight watchers to lose about 10 pounds and I really can’t complain — they’re only 1 point!!!

I love vitatops but don’t order very often because they are so expensive. I like their free shipping promos.

Got my VitaTops today. Tried the chocolate and like them. I split the order with a girl I work with.

Bonnie, best wishes with your job hunt.

Roni…..believe it or not….MINUTES after I placed my VitaTop order, I was laid off my job. Here I haven’t ordered VitaTops for over a year, and when I finally break down and order some,…..oh geeeez. What rotten luck, huh? So now I’m on the job hunt! I’ve been a little upset and distracted since Tuesday morning, and haven’t been on your site at all. I was starting to have withdrawals, though. But….I’ve got a LOT of research to do to find another job, so I don’t know how much I’ll be on here in the days to come.

Roni, thanks so much for the code. I’m excited to have a plan for the times I crave something sweet.

I just found your site this week and have found it so helpful and inspiring already!

I like the peanut butter chocolate vitatops. To counter the dryness, I microwave mine for 35 secs from frozen. Obviously, each microwave is different!

I just bought the RoniFaves pack and have enjoyed the ones I tried so far. Dying to get the ice cream to go with it. What a great dessert!!!!!
