If you want to look after your figure and/or your health while treating yourself, we've come up with a good plan, or rather a good address: Oh Oui! Located on the gourmet Rue du Bac in the 7th arrondissement, this new healthy patisserie is sure to please every palate. Eclairs, cookies and lemon tarts are yours, without a guilty conscience!
If you still have any doubts about the taste of light, no-sugar-added, Controlled Glycemic Index pastries, you're sure to change your mind once you've tried Oh Oui! pastries.
Oh Oui! pastries contain 30% less sugar than traditional pastries, no sweeteners, and each one has a low glycemic index assessed by in vitro tests carried out in an accredited laboratory, the Institut Pasteur de Lille. But flavors are preserved, since this new pastry uses unrefined sugars that naturally have a low glycemic index, such as coconut sugar, grape sugar or agave syrup.
For the rest of the ingredients, Oh Oui! uses only wholemeal French flours and legume flours, as well as free-range eggs and natural colorants and flavors. The recipes are enriched in fiber with the use of oat bran, wholemeal flours, chicory fiber, and of course no palm oil or preservatives . In figures, the glycemic index of a classic pastry usually exceeds 70; but Oh Oui! pastries have indexes between 25 and 40.
Let's take a look at some of Oh Oui! 's healthy pastries? Like us, you'll love the Lemon Finger (6€; GI 31.2) with its shortbread dough made with coconut sugar, almond powder, semi-complete flour and chickpea flour, enriched with oat bran and free-range eggs, its Sicilian lemon cream with free-range eggs, lemon jelly and fresh lime zest. Perfectly creamy and fresh!
With spring just around the corner, it's time to take advantage of the beautiful strawberries in season. A fruit that's naturally low in sugar. So here's our Strawberry Almond Finger, made with wholemeal shortcrust pastry, topped with light vanilla cream and tasty strawberries, and spiced up with a smooth red fruit coulis. Count 6€ for a GI still around 30. This creation contains 75% less sugar than a classic strawberry tart , much to our delight.
Also available from Oh Oui! are chocolate éclairs, the Finger Paris Brest and the brand-new, intense, melt-in-your-mouth Brownie , sure to please cocoa-lovers.
