Ochsner Eat Fit is bringing back Eat Fit King cakes for the 5th year in a row. The king cake is gluten-free, keto-friendly, with low carbs, and zero sugar. Dietitian Brittany Craft says it’s all about giving people a healthier option.
“It is a small 6-inch cake, perfect for people who have food allergies, or they need to eat gluten-free or they just want to feel really confident that they’re eating a king cake with really clean natural indigents,” said Craft.
Eat Fit King Cakes have 93% fewer carbs, with four times the protein and two-and-a-half more fiber with zero grams of sugar. People may worry about not getting the traditional taste, but Craft says the cakes are just as delicious.
“And while we love baking with whole wheat flour it does kind of lend to a grainier texture. The Eat Fit King Cake is made with almond flour and coconut flour, so it’s still a very lite texture and you still have that traditional cinnamon flavor and you still have the colorful sprinkles on top,” said Craft.
The king cake will be served all across Louisiana through different retailers. Craft says if you buy them online you’ll pay double what you would in stores.
“Our suggested retail price is $12.99 to $14.99, but when you are ordering it online to be shipped if you have someone that’s out of state that still wants to enjoy it we ship it on dry ice, so that’s why its a little pricey to have it shipped like that,” said Craft.
