🥞 Ingredients: Almond flour, arrowroot powder, organic coconut sugar, organic coconut flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt. Seven ingredients, no gums, natural flavors, or preservatives.
📦 Packaging: Cardboard box, not a plastic pouch.
🌱 Ingredient Note: Grain-free, made from almond and coconut flour, so the texture differs from a wheat mix. Good for gluten-free or paleo diets.
🚩 Heads-up: The box itself is recyclable cardboard, but there is a thin plastic bag inside holding the flour.
♻️ Progress over perfection: The packaging is over 90% paper and cardboard, versus the all-plastic pouches most almond flour ships in, so it earns a spot here.
✨ Hippiekit Take: A genuinely clean baking mix made from real, recognizable ingredients rather than gums and fillers.
