Your sugar-free day is off to a flying start. You loved your Nourishing Breakfast Bowl and didn’t even miss the white stuff in your morning cuppa.
But then you arrive at the office. There’s a fresh jar of cookies in the kitchen and someone’s filled up the chocolate box. Then a calendar notification pops up. It’s birthday celebration day, also known as the day of free cake. How can you resist?!
Yep, “cake culture” is rife in offices these days. In fact, the UK Royal College of Surgeons recently warned that many people are consuming most of their sugar at work. Terrible news for the current obesity epidemic. And our pearly whites.
Instead, try whipping up one of these tasty low-sugar treats. Share them with your colleagues and that Best Employee trophy will be all yours.
Supercharged Peanut Butter Fudge
The office will go absolutely nuts for this one! Combining the amazingness that is peanut butter with a little Gut-Loving Gelatin, these babies won’t just be a hit with your taste buds – your gut will love them too!
Spiced Apple + Parsnip Buns
These’ll blow that 10am sugary muffin out of the water. You’ve got spice, you’ve got sweetness, you’ve got an extra hit of veggies – talk about a multitasker! Serve with lashings of butter (or full-fat yoghurt) for melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Almond, Rosewater + Chocolate Donut Cakes
Okay, we said no donuts, but this is TECHNICALLY a donut cake. With a rosewater-infused almond meal base smothered in decadent dark chocolate, this‘ll put any Krispy Kreme tray to shame.
Thumbprint Cookies
Light, chewy and super easy to make, these cookies are filled with a thumbprint of our zesty Raspberry Chia Jam for just the right amount of kapow to get you through the afternoon.
Pumpkin-Spice Granola Bark
Forget the Snickers bar. This nutty, chewy, cinnamony shard of heaven is sure to please just as much. Bonus points: the healthy fats in the nuts and coconut oil will keep you fuller for longer. Tick that one off the to-do list!
*These recipes are virtually fructose-free and contain less than half a teaspoon per serve. They contain a small amount of rice malt syrup (a blend of glucose and maltose), which can still affect your blood sugar levels. We recommend enjoying on special occasions and sticking to a small portion size.
Have you noticed a “cake culture” at your work?
