You don’t have to give up king cake to live a healthier lifestyle. Ochsner Signature Eat Fit king cakes are for those who want to indulge in carnival season confections while keeping their New Year’s resolution. Eat Fit NOLA Dietician Emma Poling says it’s a smarter choice over the traditional king cake.
“Our Eat Fit King Cake has 93 percent fewer carbs than the traditional king cake. It is four times the amount of protein and two and a half times the fiber. So very moist. So very flavorful.”
Eat Fit King Cakes made by Unrefined Bakery are certified gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and keto-friendly. The cakes are decorated with purple, green, and gold colors made with no artificial dyes. Plus, the cakes have zero sugar.
Poling says people may worry about not getting the traditional taste, but the cakes are just as delicious and under 120 calories.
“I would liken it more to a pound cake kind of consistency. It’s super moist because of the almond and coconut flour. And they’re sweetened with a natural plant-based sweetener. And the color on time is from fruit juice dye.”
Select retailers in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi are now offering the healthy king cake.
Poling says the cake is based on all-natural ingredients for those with healthy eating goals. And now everyone can say yes to king cake.
“I think with more people paying attention to things like the keto diet or maybe any allergies that they might have, we’re here to help people stay on track but still enjoy carnival.”
