No one can deny that Whole Foods is one of the best grocery store chains for people on a special diet, including vegans like us. I don’t know about you, but sometimes general superstores just do not seem to consider vegans enough, but whole foods has us covered.
This even includes vegan cakes! While their range may not be super extensive, they do sell vegan cakes, which is more than can be said for a majority of superstores. So if you do need a vegan cake for a special occasion, there are some options for you to pick from.
Today I am going to introduce you to the awesome world of Whole Foods vegan cakes and all you need to know about them!
Are Vegan Cakes Healthy?
A cake is a cake, vegan or not. It screams unhealthy. Vegan cakes usually have a high content of added sugars, just like any other cake. It does not have any additional beneficial minerals or vitamins either.
These cakes are often made with bleached, enriched white flour which is not exactly something that benefits your health either. Cakes like this are also known for being high in saturated fats thanks to oils.
Saturated fats are also responsible for bad cholesterol, so remember, just because something is vegan, does not make it healthy!
