Gluten free carrot cake with a protein kick
Our bars are filled with organic dates and roasted nuts - and lots and lots of sustainable protein, iron, B12, Omega-3, fibre, magnesium and calcium. You can get many of the nutrients you would normally get from meat and dairy from the bars making them extremely planet-friendly.
Here’s a different way to enjoy the bars - in a carrot cake! And even though carrot cake doesn’t exactly scream nutrition and active living, this one is actually a healthy snack for anyone who cares about health and the planet. It’s glutenfree, vegan (except for the buffalo beetle powder, which, however, has the same climate footprint as plants) and it’s easy to make.
