An Established, Beloved Brand

Starting in 1987, Tasti D-Lite grew from its roots in New York City mostly by word of mouth in response to a large and loyal customer base who lined up day and night to get their Tasti.

Over the past 20 years Tasti D-Lite has become the favorite guilt-free daily indulgence of celebrities, supermodels and anyone who values their health – and cares about their shape. Thanks to exposure on highly-rated TV series like Sex and the City, The Apprentice, 30 Rock and appearances on other programs including The Tyra Banks Show and The Today Show, Tasti D-Lite’s popularity has grown across the country and around the world.
