The cake bite itself is sweet and divine, and with the addition of Raisins and Carrots, you are definitely in for an energy kick. Raisins and carrots can give you a quick boost of energy when you are feeling sluggish- without weighing you down.
The raisin is rich in natural sugar, hence the energy! It is also a good source of iron, which supports your immune system. Raisin is also rich in potassium, which helps lower blood pressure by limiting the effect of sodium.
The carrot is known as the “ultimate health food.” It is loaded with Vitamin A, which promotes good vision. Carrot is also rich in Beta Carotene, a cancer-fighting agent!
Now get ready to be blown away!
