The Paleo diet is based mainly on foods assumed to have been available to our paleolithic ancestors. While there are varying ways that people interpret that, the diet typically includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, and meat, along with root vegetables and organ meats.
Dairy products, legumes, alcohol, coffee, grains, and sugar are all out. While you might be asking yourself, "What's the point?!", the point is very much a healthier way of living and eating.
The Paleo diet doesn't just focus on modern day processing of foods, but on the shift man made from hunter-gatherer to agriculture and settlement. That's kind of a big change in the way you think about food. It means no wheat, no cheese, and certainly no sour cream. (Hard for this Texan to fathom.)
But, as our recipes prove, it also means narrowing the scope to some seriously delicious recipes. Let's Paleo it up, friends. Healthy can definitely be delicious.
These paleo carrot cake cookies let you enjoy all the classic flavors of the cake minus the grains, dairy and sugar in one healthy bite! You even get that cream cheese frosting flavor too.
Paleo fudge pops are plenty creamy thanks to the addition of banana and avocado. Pop 'em in the freezer all summer long, because they're gonna go fast.
These paleo blueberry thumbprints combine a soft chewy cookie and a slightly sweet fruity blueberry filling for a healthy grain free dessert you’ll love. Is it snack time yet?!
This paleo banana bread cake with decadent chocolate almond ganache just happens to be vegan too. You may know it’s good for you, but you won’t care. It’s just too delish!
These paleo baked pears are drizzled with honey, stuffed with dairy free coconut milk yogurt and topped with a sweet pecan topping. They’re a delicious pie-alternative to celebrating fall.
