Only the most disciplined of us can say no to a sweet treat when those 3:30pm cravings or that post-meal pang hits - that's why we created our Real Rad Food Raw Slices, so we can say yes to a healthier option!
For the uninitiated, a raw slice basically means any product created without baking, and they're usually made with whole food ingredients, offered up as an alternative to traditional baked treats for those following a keto diet, of those who are gluten free, dairy free, limiting sugar intake or plant-based.
So, if you're new to raw slices, here's a little introduction to the heart of our business - our bestselling guilt-free treats!
WHAT KIND OF TEXTURE ARE THEY?
Our raw slices are rich, creamy and smooth, similar to cheesecake or fudge. So satisfying!
WHERE ARE THEY MADE?
All of our raw slices are handmade here in New Zealand, in our Papamoa factory to be specific! Our kitchen whiz Kelsi pours love into every small-batch slice using select ingredients for a supreme result every time. She's been making our slices for years and they wouldn't be as amazing as they are without her!
ARE THEY VEGAN?
Yep! They're 100% plant-based, so that means no animal products, ever!
WHAT ABOUT REFINED SUGAR?
We use refined sugar alternatives like date paste, coconut sugar and rice malt syrup. Much unlike traditional slices and treats you'd find in a bakery, which are usually packed with layers of white sugar!
ARE THEY DAIRY-FREE AND GLUTEN-FREE?
Yes of course! They're the ideal treat for anyone who is following a GF or DF diet, or anyone who has intolerances! There's no gluten or dairy in our kitchen at all, but we do use nuts!
WHICH FLAVOUR SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Ooh that's a tricky one, we love them all so much! If you're new around here, you might want to try a Mixed Slice Box - it's our best-selling product by far, offering up six different flavours to sample and enjoy.
If you want to go all in on one flavour, here's a quick snapshot of what you can expect:
Bounty Bars - This one is a fave with keto-dieters, as it's super low in sugar. Imagine a traditional chocolate Bounty Bar, on another level! It's creamy, coconutty and chocolatey; not too sweet, not too rich.
Pinky Bars - A similar vibe to the Bounty Bar, but with an unmistakeable marshmallowy flavour as you'd expect with a chocolate Pinky Bar! It's soft, creamy and incredibly moreish!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Slice - If you love peanut butter, this is absolutely the one for you! It's rich and nutty and decadent, using Fix & Fogg's amazingly smooth PB!
Black Forest Slice - This is one of our team favourites (to be fair, we have a new favourite each week!) - it's rich and chocolatey, with stunning pops of tangy sweetness from the real raspberries. It even has chocolate kibble and freeze-dried raspberries on top too - so luxe!
Snickers Slice - A classic for fans of raw slices, Snickers was one of the first and most prolific slices in the game, but of course, we think ours is the best! It's jam-packed with cashews, almond and peanuts for what is possibly our most filling slice!
Tiramisu Slice - Coffee lovers rejoice, this slice is made for you! The iconic Italian dessert is reimagined in raw slice form to create a creamy, luxurious slice that never fails to delight!
RAW SLICES = FULL OF GOODNESS
Because we don't bake our slices, the nutritional value of all the whole food ingredients we use is retained.
WILL THEY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER THAN NORMAL TREATS?
Yeah, prepare to be blown away by how much better you feel treating yourself to a nibble on a Real Rad Food raw slice!
Our raw slices are made with whole food fats and carbohydrates so they give you more energy and leave you feeling fuller for longer. They're more friendly on your gut too, without processed additives, we can fill them up with digestion-loving goodies instead!
They have a lower glycemic load compared to traditional treats, so you'll avoid that massive sugar spike and crash and they're full of good fats that love on your hormone health, brain function and skin glow-factor!
