Without sounding like too much of a shill for Vitalicious, I have to say, I am in LOVE with their muffins and brownies. I ordered a chocolate sampler last week and I've been loving the results. For a super-quick, 200 calorie dessert that tastes like utter sin, you have to try this. It looks miniature, but the taste is so amazing you can savor each small bite:
Brownie sundae
1 Vitalicious brownie
1/4 cup vanilla ice cream
1 heaping tsp chocolate syrup
Raspberries (optional)
Slice the brownie in half and place it in a small bowl; warm briefly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Using a tablespoon, scoop out 4 tbs of ice cream and place over the brownie. Drizzle measured chocolate syrup on top, and sprinkle with raspberries (if they're in season and you can afford them!)
Brownie: 100 cals
Ice cream: 80 (using the Whole Foods store brand, anyway- YMMV)
Syrup: 20 cals (using Ah!laska organic chocolate syrup)
It's not whole foods and certainly does still have a sugar kick, but there's nothing artificial -- you could do a LOT worse. It's so amazingly decadent, but doesn't require too much effort to squeeze into my daily calories!
