HEALTHY
The healthy king cake is called the Eat Fit king cake and it is inspired by Ochsner’s cookbook. It costs $23.
How it's made:
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 of net carbs and zero sugar. It is also certified gluten free.
You can learn more about it and order it on Ochsner’s website here.
DONUT
The donut king cake is a fried king cake from Mary Lee’s Donuts. It costs $30.
How it's made:
Fried King Cake. Made from Donut Dough. Very light and "airy" like a donut. Not like a traditional King Cake that uses sweet dough, a much harder, heavier bread.
