It’s been a while since I’ve written about my paleo eating ways, and it’s time to start preaching what I’m practicing. With the holidays full steam ahead, cookies and cupcakes and candy canes (oh my!) will be taunting us wherever we turn. So what’s a poor sugar lover to do when the sweet tooth starts aching? Why not try one of these amazing 30 Paleo Desserts?

Here’s a Paleo meal plan too!
Oh my gosh, I want to try the coconut panna cotta! And the key lime pie!!! Has eating paleo helped you stay trim?
I guess! My weight fluctuates alot due to my autoimmune condition, but I definitely feel better without all the grains, sugar and dairy!
I’m not paleo… but these looks amazing!
Yum! These look great. Paleo is non-dairy, right? I had to give up dairy/soy with my son while breastfeeding until he grew out of it at 7 months. Now I’m fairly certain my little girl will be the same, so I’m on the look out for nondairy desserts.
yes dairy free! I am going back on Paleo hard core now, I need it! And I’m sorry they have dairy issues, stressful I’m sure for you!
Isn’t it amazing how fabulous all of these look! I want one of each. I am so happy to see so many great options that are available!
I have hard many good things about paleo, thanks for sharing these recipes
We are GF in my house and I am ALWAYS looking for new desserts…pinning for sure!
I think a misconception many people have about living a paleo lifestyle is not be able to enjoying sweet treats. Clearly they are wrong because you’ve put together an awesome, delicious list! I want to try the Earl Grey Tea ice cream!
Me too!
Wow! Maybe I COULD do a diet like that! They all sound delicious!!
Wow – when I think of Paleo, I don’t think of desserts – but these sound amazing!
These looking amazing. Pinning!! YUM!
I’ve been curious about paleo for a while. I love the idea of paleo key lime pie. Does it really taste as good as the non paleo version?
What a great list. I love to make new desserts. I will have to try some of these this holiday season!
Loving this list! YUMMY!!
I’ll probably grab a few of these recipes to try out. Never hurts to find new options.
Loving your food idea posts..esp this one cuz I am all about dessert…but “healthy” is even better!!
This list looks really good! Lemon bars:). And I think I need to investigate Paleo eating. I’ve tried everything else, but still looking for something that’ll, make me feel good.
Even though I don’t follow paleo, I do find myself feeling even better (less bloated, more energy) when I don’t eat white or wheat carbs – even the “good ones.” Thanks for crowning me the Clean Eating Queen – now that’s definitely an award I wear with pride. xoxo
no dairy is hard for me!!! but some of these look good!
So, I love Butterfingers and will definitely have to give that Paleo Butterfinger recipe a try. Yum!
Great list! I need to save it somewhere so I can reference it again for THanksgiving!
There are quite a few on here that I haven’t tried yet- including those samoas. Pinning so I can fix that!
Great content! Love the recipes and I’ll surely try these someday. Thanks!
Good looking Paleo desserts.
