Looking for a healthy alternative this King Cake Season? The Eat Fit King Cake offers a healthier twist on the traditional Mardi Gras dessert, allowing people to enjoy the festive treat without compromising wellness goals. Developed by Ochsner’s Eat Fit initiative and inspired by its cookbook, this king cake is gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, low-carb, dairy-free, and made with all-natural ingredients. Eat Fit Founder Molly Kimball says key components include almond and coconut flour and Swerve, a natural sweetener free of artificial additives.
“This is especially for the person who it isn’t just a one- or two-time thing during the carnival season. They want to have it on the regular. They want to have something that they can really indulge in and still support their wellness goals.”
Unlike standard king cakes, the Eat Fit King Cake boasts 93% fewer carbs, zero sugar, no artificial dyes, and four times more protein. It is also certified gluten-free and clean-label. Kimball says a new dessert for this year is Eat Fit King Cake Cupcakes, which share the same nutritional benefits.
“It’s built-in portion control. Its such a good alternative for someone who doesn’t want to commit to the whole cake, or just put out at parties and stuff like that.”
Available in select stores across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and online for nationwide shipping, Eat Fit King Cake extends the mission of Ochsner’s Eat Fit initiative. Founded in 2013, Eat Fit partners with 600+ restaurants to promote healthier dining options, offering resources through its smartphone app and cookbooks.
“You know it’s going to be a healthier version. It’s sort of like a coffee cake. It’s one of those where we have been excited to see it grow and have new products added to the lineup.”
