Handmade gluten free vegan treats
ImmunoBox offers gluten free vegan goodies, freshly handmade in Cardiff, Wales.
What’s ImmunoBox about?
After years of struggling to find fresh, tasty treats to accommodate my own dietary restrictions, I created ImmunoBox. I saw a gap in the market for treats made with natural ingredients (and not just processed sugar!) that suit all types of dietary needs, without compromising on quality or taste.
At ImmunoBox, every single cake is gluten free and vegan and most baked goods contain only natural or unrefined sugars, as I thrive to produce Goodies with No Nasties. Everything is baked to order, and you can choose from a range of snacks, deserts, traybakes and cakes. I have received a 5 star food hygiene score and I hold a level 3 food hygiene certificate.
ImmunoBox aims to cater for everyone, so please have a browse here and on my social media, and if you can’t find a suitable treat, please contact me and I will do my best to create a recipe suited to your needs.
ImmunoBox treats are available locally by visiting Green Beans, my very own coffee bike, during warmer weather (see what it looks like below!), but also via direct order all year long.
NEW for Spring 2023: delivery of Buddha Bowls and Salads made to order!
A selection of my products...
Energy balls!
I seem to be obsessed with making all sorts of balls at the moment! Super healthy snacks, these are made with my homemade protein powder. Available in many flavours, many of my recipes are paleo and AIP too! (Most contain nuts, but I have some grain-free recipes available)
Chocolate and peanut butter blondie
My kids' favourite recipe of mine. This blondie is gluten free and vegan of course, but is also grain free! Made with natural sugars and packed with protein, it's ridiculously good. (Contains peanuts, nuts and soya)
Lemon and blueberry cake
A crowd pleaser for people of all ages, this cake is a slice of summer. With an almond base and only containing unrefined sugar, it is packed with fruit and is just the right amount of sweet. Available all year around. (Contains nuts)
Cupcakes
A big hit with kids and grown-ups alike! These vanilla cupcakes can be decorated with a choice of flavoured frostings or simple vegan vanilla frosting. All decorations used are gluten free and vegan too. (No allergens in this recipe)
Apple cake topped with pecan crumble
A real treat on a cold day, this cake is best served with a hot cup of coffee (from Green Beans coffee bike of course!). This delicious cake only contains unrefined sugar, so what's not to like? (Contains nuts)
Coffee and walnut cake
Possibly my new favourite... What a lovely combination of flavours! This cake is made with decaf coffee, so even little ones can enjoy it! (And my daughter certainly does...) Can be made in a round cake that serves 10 or a tray serving 15.
(Contains nuts)
Chocolate brownies
A melt in the mouth, decadent treat, these brownies are so chocolatey and moreish! What more can you say? These can't be described as healthy, but they are nonetheless baked with unrefined sugar! Every little helps, right?
(Contains soya)
Fruit and nut flapjack
I love this recipe. It is packed with dried fruit, nuts and seeds, so full of goodness! I use figs, apricots, raisins, sultanas and cranberries, as well as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and hemp seeds, and peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts and brazil nuts.
(Contains peanuts, nuts and sulfur dioxide)
About me
Hi! I’m Marie, a busy mum of three based in Cardiff, Wales. In 2015, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
After years struggling on various medication, it became clear that I wasn’t getting better and my condition kept deteriorating. Meds just weren’t working for me. After another emergency visit to hospital in 2018, I decided that enough was enough.
I started researching diets and alternative therapies, and found that gluten and dairy in particular cause inflammation to our bodies, and for people like me with an auto-immune condition, cutting out those food groups can make a huge difference to quality of life. This gave me a glimmer of hope, and with that, I embarked on a strict regime, cutting out all gluten, dairy, eggs and refined sugar from my diet.
Since then, I have struggled to find anything suitable to eat when I am out. The rare gluten free/vegan products I find are often full of refined sugar and definitely not healthy!
So I decided to create ImmunoBox to offer better alternatives to other people with dietary restrictions, whether it is for health reasons or by choice.
ImmunoBox is in its infancy, but I have very big plans for the future! Please follow me on my journey as I create more products and expand my distribution network! My aim is for everyone to find something they can eat, no matter where they are!
My Happy Customers!

We purchased a wholesale lot from Marie for a large event. Marie was very easy to deal with and understood our requirements, the cakes were delivered on time and exactly how we wanted them. The cakes were absolutely excellent and the feedback was brilliant. The staff eat a lot of cake, if they thought it was excellent, Marie must be doing something right! Would highly recommend.

I purchased two boxes of protein balls from Marie @immunobox yesterday. Fig and Pistachio and Goji “Bakewell” bliss balls. I shared them out amongst my buddies at a surf session. They are delicious and went down a treat. Thank you Marie, we’ll be back for more!

Green Beans Coffee Bike, my mobile shop!
Coffee with a conscience! Green Beans is a simple concept. Great coffee sold alongside our homemade goodies with no nasties.
All of our baked goods are vegan and gluten free, freshly handmade by ImmunoBox!
Our coffee beans are organic and roasted in Caerphilly, as we try to do our bit to limit our carbon footprint. We offer plant-based milk for all of our hot drinks at the same price as dairy, to encourage customers to make a greener choice.
We are working very hard to offer sustainable products; all of our packaging and single use items are compostable, biodegradable and recyclable. The bike runs on green electricity only and is a very low carbon emission shop! We have even won a Green Goal Award for it!
Come and say hi when you see the orange bike parked up, we’ll often be found peddling around local parks in Grangetown, Cardiff Bay and the barrage. Alternatively, contact us to book Green Beans for your next event!
