GLUTEN-FREE SWEET AND SEEDY SLICE
Full of seeds and dried berries, cacao nibs and honey, tahini and coconut, our Sweet and Seedy Slice is a healthy way to hit your sweet tooth.
It’s the perfect balance – no sugar; no dairy; no gluten; no egg; no skill required; no standing for hours in the kitchen and no guilt after eating.
We can’t really ask for more than that – except for another piece – and maybe a toothpick for those pesky chia seeds.
