Mmmm chocolate. It’s rich, smooth, sweet and indulgent.Say it slowly and even the very word sounds delicious and gets the mouth watering. So what is it about this "melt in your mouth temptation" that has captivated our tastebuds?

While chocolate has traditionally been known for its wicked edge, recent research has redeemed its reputation and revealed it can actually be good for us - and that’s welcome news for all chocolate lovers!

The key ingredient in chocolate is cocoa, which contains beneficial flavonoids - the same health-boosting substances found in green tea and red wine. Studies suggest that these flavonoids may help protect us against heart disease and stroke. (Discover more health giving benefits of chocolate in Healthy Chocolate: Fact or Fantasy?)

So with real benefits to eating chocolate, what’s not to love? The only catch is not all chocolate is created equal so let the biter beware...

Replace your chocolate snack attack

Do you ever crave for something sweet mid-afternoon, need a good energy boost without the crash that follows a sugar hit or need a high quality protein shake to add to your gym routine?

Many of us who want to look and feel better about ourselves are looking for healthier alternatives and have had enough of the same old results when we look in the mirror.

How would you like to replace your snack attack with the taste of chocolate but with something that can actually improve your waistline, boost your energy and curb your cravings at the same time?

Sound too good to be true? Well now you can! That’s where VitaDelight comes to the rescue …but first, let me share a personal story.

A personal story: My bitter-sweet love affair with chocolate

I don’t know about you but I have always enjoyed the taste of chocolate and used to suffer from sweet cravings (or maybe it was just tiredness) mid- afternoon and would always reach for something sweet. That meant something that tasted good and gave me a quick burst of energy. The only problem was it was typically unhealthy and often followed by an energy crash afterwards. And then I would beat myself up afterwards for making such a bad choice and breaking my own dietary rules! (normally I like to think of myself as a healthy eater but this was my greatest vice)

After doing this again and again on numerous occasions and getting the same old results, then wondering why I couldnt get rid of that extra bulge in my waistline (the definition of insanity?) I finally found the answer to my bitter-sweet dilemma!

These days in the mid-afternoon, I happily indulge in a Vitadelight in a cup with a little organic soy milk and let it sit for a couple of minutes until it is thick like a chocolate mousse. Then I add a couple of drops of Sunectar (read A Healthy Sweet and Natural Alternative to Sugar) to sweeten and bring out the delicious cocoa flavour while enhancing my health at the same time. 

Then I happily savour it by the spoonful - it’s the quickest and easiest afternoon treat I have found anywhere that really satisfies. I don’t feel deprived and I am not fighting myself either - I just found a healthier replacement that hits the spot beautifully. No more searching in the pantry for that missing ‘something.” And no more beating myself up afterwards either. Just pure indulgence at its best.

Best of all, its 100% guilt-free and tastes so good that it’s hard to believe it’s actually good for me! It gives me the energy boost that I have been looking for to get through the day and helps to keep me in shape (and currently to get my body back after baby!!) - and no more cravings for sweets to pick me up and get me through the rest of the day - hooray!

Cocoa Vitadelight to the rescue!

VitaDelight™ is a whole food concentrate enhanced with vitamins and minerals in a delicious powder form to be mixed into a healthy chocolate shake. 

Vitadelight is essentially a supercharged NuPlus, our original energy food, with more protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre. Similar to NuPlus, it gives a great sustained energy boost and is packed with powerful nutrition. Like NuPlus®, Vitashake™ helps fill in the nutrition gaps in the diet by nourishing the body with essential nutrients plus gives the added benefit of whole fibre.

You will find VitaDelight even more filling & satisfying since it fulfils our daily requirements for essential vitamins and minerals and has added fibre. This is why many enjoy it as a complete meal replacement on the go. Plus it is even more delicious and has the added benefits of cocoa.

VitaDelight™ is formulated with Coix Fruit, which contains powerful antioxidants, and fructooligosaccharide (FOS), a probiotic soluble-fibre carbohydrate that supports the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Every Nutrient You Could Wish For

In every serving you will receive essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, soluble fibre, protein, complex carbohydrates, probiotics and live enzymes in a delicious, easy to mix formula that really satisfies your hunger.

Rich in nutrition, it contains vitamins A,C,D,E, K, B6, B12,Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, biotin, phosphorous, iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese and chromium. WOW!

Just 2 serves a day gives you 100% daily requirements of vitamins A, E, B12 and folate!

(I hope you are listening up, pregnant ladies - here is the perfect pre-natal nutrition without popping any pills !!)

Advanced Nutrition Beyond Compare

Unlike other brands that contain chemically processed or animal-based protein powders, our soy protein in VitaDelight™ is similar to super-concentrated tofu.

This makes VitaDelight™ a wonderful nutritious shake for young and old people who require easily digestible food. Most importantly, nutrient absorption is maximized because our natural vitamins and minerals are contained in a whole food base.

Most weight loss, energy or protein shakes contain sugar, isolated protein, isolated vitamins and minerals and numerous artificial ingredients which all place an unnecessary burden on the body, clog up the lymphatic system and are hard for the body to digest.

Very often, there are not enough nutrients to act as a complete meal replacement or even to be a true food source and they often contain little or no dietary fibre.

Ideal for dieters and people on the go, VitaDelight™ is a healthy and convenient alternative to other weight loss or energy products that contain questionable ingredients and can not live up to their claims of being nutritious, energy-giving or being a complete meal replacement.

In contrast, the vitamins in VitaDelight are NOT isolates! Dr Tei Fu Chen, world renowned master herbalist, pharmacist and the founder of Sunrider International has specially combined them with NuPlus in the formulation process. This is a special advanced process that he has developed in his expertise, in order for the body to accept the vitamins and minerals as food. This is so important as it means that all of the valuable nutrients are assimilated by the body to get the full health benefits.

When you add VitaDelight to your lifestyle it provides pure energy on the go, helps in digestion and absorption of food through the intestines, slows the assimilation of carbohydrates over a longer period of time which is good for blood sugar regulation and helps curb cravings.  

The unique formulation with fructooligosaccharides (FOS), probiotic carbohydrates from high fibre foods, promotes a healthy, smooth functioning digestive system.

The dietary fibre and high nutrition make it a satisfying, healthy and convenient drink that you can enjoy anywhere anytime with virtually no preparation- perfect for our busy lifestyles!

In a nutshell, VitaDelight powers your body with real nutrition beyond compare with anything you will find at the health food store or supermarket.

Each pre-packaged serving contains virtually all the different vitamins and minerals you would find in a multivitamin complex, yet it is easy to absorb and digest and no need for any boring pills to swallow!

Shape up your body: Yes you CAN have your chocolate and eat it too!

VitaDelight allows you to naturally reshape your body as part of a healthy and natural weight loss program.

With only 95 calories and less than 1g of fat per serving, it fills you up with all the goodness and nutrients of a balanced meal without the bulk.

A good source of dietary fibre, it helps the digestive tract to naturally cleanse itself - many of us who have extra WAIST are actually carrying around extra WASTE !!– so it’s a good idea to start here and focus on cleansing the body on the inside, not just what we put it into the tank. For more on the benefits of fibre rich foods, read more here.

VitaDelight helps trap fats and cholesterol in the intestinal tract so they can be flushed out with Calli or Fortune Delight, our key cleansing teas.

Since it gives you a sense of fullness and naturally suppresses the appetite, it's great for anyone trying to lose weight.

It also helps slow the assimilation of carbohydrates over a longer period of time which is beneficial for blood sugar regulation and helps naturally curb cravings. Using will power is often a losing battle as you only are fighting with yourself but you will discover that when your body is properly nourished it no longer craves what it doesn’t need.

VitaDelight is low in sodium for those concerned about their weight or blood pressure.

The soluble fibre is from chicory root which contains fructooligosaccharides, (FOS) naturally occuring in high fiber foods such as onions and garlic. VitaShake is one delicious nutritional food drink that gives you this valuable nutrient without having to eat tons of onions and garlic. The FOS helps naturally suppress the appetite and is great for anyone trying to lose weight.

One VitaDelight also gives the equivalent of 3 servings of our premium quality probiotic, called Vitadophilus helping the body to make its own beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.

Most fibre only sweeps the intestines but FOS fibre also aids digestion thus boosting assimilation of foods through the intestinal walls. When you have enough good bacteria in your intestines, you are better able to produce adequate amounts of B vitamins.

It also helps to minimise osteoporosis and Candida, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides and over time brings down harmful LDL cholesterol and boosts beneficial HDL cholesterol. It also helps to make you feel full and satisfied and helps with the assimilation of carbohydrates.

Tip - as it is a high fibre food, be sure to drink plenty of liquid such as water or Fortune Delight with VitaDelight to prevent constipation. For optimal results, compliment it with Calli tea, Sunectar and Vitalite SunBars, for that Chocolate craving in all of us!

What is in it?

The ingredients include coix fruit, soy protein, cocoa powder, fructooligosaccharide (FOS) chinese yam, fox nut, lotus seed, lotus root, waterlily bulb and other added vitamins and minerals.
