Imagine a snickers slice that is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and guilt-free variety! Well, that’s what this cake is...
Packed full of delicious-ness proving that healthy tastes great.
Raw cashews are loaded with good fats that help keep you full for longer, and they also provide proanthocyanidins which can help prevent cancer as well as being rich in copper and magnesium for hair, bone and skin health. Medjool dates pack in that sweetness for the snickers cake and the caramel intensity that makes this treat amazing. Other nutrients include potassium for blood sugar regulation, balancing PH and copper.
It would not be a snickers cake without the inclusion of peanuts and dark chocolate, and peanuts contain healthy fats and potassium. Dark organic chocolate is super rich in antioxidants and cancer-fighting properties.
So you can feel less guilty about enjoying this with your afternoon tea.
