Whole Trade Brownies

by Melissa, March 10, 2009 | Permalink

Great news!  Our Whole Trade VEGAN Brownies are back.  For people who like a deep, dark chocolate dessert with a soft & cakey texture, this is the brownie for you.  Even if you’re not a strict vegan, I encourage you to resist the urge to turn up your nose at this product just because it does not contain butter or eggs.  Our bakers have skillfully substituted ground flaxseeds and tinkered with the recipe to make it just as appealing as similar brownies made with sinful ingredients.  Don’t be afraid to indulge because each serving contains just 2.5 grams of fat.

Another compelling reason to buy a brownie is the Whole Trade guarantee that comes along with it.   You can eat this dessert with a clear conscience because it is made with fair trade sugar, cocoa and vanilla.  And we donate 1% of sales of all Whole Trade products to the Whole Planet Foundation to help empower poor people in developing countries.  The revenue generated funds microlending projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America so recipients can start their own small businesses and escape the vicious cycle of poverty.  So far, the repayment rate on the loans we’ve extended is 99%!  

For more information about the Whole Planet Foundation, check out the website.  If you’d like to contribute more to the cause, speak to your cashier at check out.

   These are so AWESOME!!! I am not vegan but am in love with them. I thought I make the best brownies in the world, well these are the best! I want the recipe so I don’t have to pay 3$ per brownie when I eat them before I even get to the car. Only 2.5 grams of fat people but they are seriously better than anything else, you don’t even miss the butter and eggs. I’m telling you, give ‘em a try and you will see what I mean. Thanks Whole Foods for making such wholesome delicious products.
