Sugar, butter and oil…
Did you know you can cut the amount of sugar in most recipes by 25-35% without noticing much difference in taste and texture? For this reason, we try to minimize the amount of sugar, butter and oil in our recipes. It’s way healthier and still tastes great!
Kid approved

A great pre/post-workout snack
