Peppermint Slice

Consisting of three layers of mouth-watering real food ingredients, this slice is one that must be shared with friends and family. Instead of using fake coloring for the middle, I've chosen to use matcha powder instead.

Aside from creating a great green color, it also super-boosts this slice by adding health-supportive polyphenols, also known as antioxidants that support the biochemistry of your body in many healthful and helpful ways.
