Blake's Seed Based makes the first vegan and certified nut-free products of their kind and the newest addition to the brand's allergy-friendly product portfolio is a Birthday Cake Rice Crispy Treat flavor. Unlike many rice crisp treats that are made with marshmallows, (and as a result, animal-derived gelatin) these ones combine nutritious seeds, fruit and chocolate.
The Birthday Cake Rice Crispy Treat is a better-for-you snack that's packed with vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, fiber, omegas and protein thanks to ingredients like pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and sunflower seeds. Like most birthday cake-flavored products, this one from Blake's Seed Based is topped with colorful rainbow sprinkles. The allergy-friendly treat is a decadent new one that joins existing varieties like strawberry and chocolate.
