Raw Vegan Caramel Slice

This Raw Vegan Caramel Slice recipe will have you hooked for life. It’s our personal favourite. A perfect guilt-free treat that’s low GI, gluten and dairy free.

A healthy alternative to a classic slice. This raw, vegan, caramel slice is gluten free, egg and soy free, dairy free and paleo.

This slice is low GI due to ingredients like dark agave syrup, mesquite, almonds and cashews. This means you get a sustained release of energy as opposed to high GI foods (such as refined sugar) causing spikes and crashes in energy levels. Some call this 3:30-itis.

Cashews and almonds are a great source of fibre and protein. The high fibre and protein content provides you with a sense of feeling full. Teamed with low Gi ingredients, you won’t feel the need to devour the entire tray, nor will you feel sick after consuming this delicious caramel slice.

Who would’ve thought that something that tastes so good is not actually bad for you?
