NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Ochsner Eat Fit King Cakes are available online through EatFitKingCake.com and retailers across Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
Eat Fit King Cakes are certified gluten-free and grain-free as well as low-carb, dairy-free and keto-friendly. The cakes are made with almond and coconut flour and sweetened with a natural, plant-based sweetener, producing a moist crumb that tastes almost like a cross between a pound cake and an old-school New Orleans brioche confection.
Each Eat Fit King Cake is adorned with the festive Mardi Gras tricolor – purple, green and gold, without the artificial food dyes found in traditional king cakes.
“You don’t have to give up your favorite Carnival treat in order to live a healthier lifestyle,” said Molly Kimball, RD, Eat Fit founder and director of lifestyle nutrition at Ochsner Health. “Our Eat Fit King Cakes make it effortless to make a smart choice and continue to let the good times roll.”
Compared to most traditional king cakes, Eat Fit King Cakes have 93 percent fewer carbs, four times the protein and 2.5 times more fiber. Plus, the cakes have zero sugar (compared to 50 grams sugar in a typical serving of traditional king cake) and no white or refined flour.
