EASY 16 SERVES 20 MINS + CHILLING TIME PREP 5 MIN COOKING

A health-focused slice that doesn’t compromise on indulgence. Sweetened naturally with Medjool dates and enriched with nut butter, it’s packed with roasted almonds, fibre-rich seeds, puffed quinoa and puffed soy protein for crunch and staying power, lifted with freeze-dried raspberries. A smooth topping of Haigh’s dark chocolate finishes it beautifully, with a final sprinkle of raspberry and puffed soy protein - an elegant, more sustaining alternative to a biscuit alongside your coffee.
