To burn it off
Marzipan is ground almonds and sugar, and in December it is everywhere: the marzipan pig or potato in a Dutch Sinterklaas shoe, the bar in a German Nikolaus boot, the layer under the icing on a British Christmas cake.
A piece is about 115 kcal, with 15 g of carbs, 2 g of protein and 6 g of fat. The fat is from the almonds, the carbs from the sugar.
It is dense and very sweet, so one piece tends to be enough. That is its own built in portion control.
Tips
- 1Eat it slowly with a coffee. One piece goes a long way.
- 2Have a mandarin next to it. That is 35 and it cuts the sweetness.
