Review of Raw Cakes Raspberry & Passion Fruit - Nats Rawline by peter-plant-power
BEST KIND OF NATS SO FAR
Around November 2022 I reviewed the Chocolate and Hazelnut version of these raw cakes that are sold frozen. I moaned about their exaggerated sweet content. However, this fruity one is much, much better!
Taste/bite: Fresh, sweet and slighltly acid flavour mixing red fruits (raspberry) and mango. Creamy thanks to the cashew nuts and coconut oil used for the cream texture. Not too heavy, even if I ate 2 of these cakes in one time. I liked it.
Ingredients: Organic. The basic layer is a typical raw crust, made of grounded dates and nuts (cashew & almond). The cream layers are of different colour, one pink with raspberry and one yellowish with mango. The fat used is coconut oil. No added sugar except for agave syrup.
A decent 7,8 g of protein per 100 g of product, but also 29 g of fats with 15 g of saturated. That’s a lot less fat than the chocolate hazelnut version. Which explains why it has such a lighter feel. Even if coconut oil is pretty much okay, we had better avoid too much saturated fats. So moderation please!
Shape/Conditioning: Two square portions of 65 g make a two-pack of 130 g total. Negative point: A lot of packaging, of which the inner part is a very sturdy quality of plastic, far too high quality. The outer wrap/box is printed cardboard. Nice artwork, but as you can see in the pictures, the actual product looks a lot less glamourous than the photo’s on the outside! Marketed as Plant based – organic – vegan – no gluten – no lactose.
Price: I paid 5,50 € (February 2023), for this two-pack with a total weight of 130 g. Yes, quite expensive, even if these are good quality ingredients. So again, moderation please, or make these items yourself at home for a lot less money.
The brand is Belgian and located in Vivegnis in the South of the country..
