HEALTH & BENEFITS

The Weetbix Based Chocolate Slice contains Weetbix, which is a rich source of dietary fiber and essential vitamins and minerals. Fiber is an essential nutrient that helps to regulate bowel movement and improve overall gut health.

Moreover, cocoa is rich in antioxidant flavonoids that help to protect the body from oxidative stress and inflammation, which are risk factors for many chronic diseases.

While Sultanas and coconut add a natural sweetness to the slice, they are also high in sugar and fat. Therefore, moderation is key to ensure a healthy balance.
