Traditional Mardi Gras celebrations may be off, but you can’t cancel king cake! And thanks to the Eat Fit King Cake, it’s also possible to indulge without sabotaging your wellness goals!

On sale in select stores throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, and available for purchase online, the Eat Fit King Cake is gluten free, grain free, low carb, sugar free, dairy free and all natural. Did we mention it tastes good, too?!

Centered on an all-natural clean ingredient label, the Eat Fit King Cake is made with almond flour and coconut flour. It’s sweetened with Swerve, a natural, plant-based sweetener, with no artificial sweeteners or colors. Each serving has just two grams net carbs and zero sugar.

Inspired by the King Cake recipe in Ochsner’s Eat Fit Cookbook, the Eat Fit team knew they needed to bring this treat to the retail market to make it easy for any and everyone to enjoy a clean-label king cake that also tastes incredible.

Nutrition: Eat Fit King Cake vs. Traditional King Cake

Ounce-for-ounce, the Eat Fit King Cake has:

• No artificial food dyes, compared to the yellow 5, yellow 6, red 3, red 40 and blue 1 in most traditional king cake

• 93% less carbs than traditional king cake

• 0 sugar (compared to 50 grams sugar in a typical serving of traditional king cake)

• 4 times more protein than traditional king cake

• 2.5 times more fiber than traditional king cake

• No white, refined flour

• Is gluten free, grain free, dairy free and low carb
