There’s hope for us yet!
You may have thought that cheesecakes were a piece of your past with a diet that no longer allowed such deliciousness, but alas…there is always a way. This recipe uses soaked cashews along with coconut cream to mimic that perfect creamy texture.

The aroma that wafts throught the house of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies is a childhood memory that I don’t want me or my kids to miss out on. So even with dietary restrictions, we can all enjoy this favorite sweet treat.

To be honest, even I’m shocked to see this be an option! With cassava flour, and other ingredients like maple syrup and coconut milk, you can 100% indulge.

No bake cookies? Don’t mind if I do. But peanut butter you ask? That’s not paleo! Well, with the use of sunflower seed butter (which many may argue tastes better than peanut butter anyhow) it is completely compliant, and freaking delicious. Did I mention no-bake, too?! woot!

Cake pops aren’t off the menu for you! With some special swaps (and the use of some trickster vegetables) you have yourself a handheld cake pop that will rival your old Starbucks habits.

This dessert is pulled off with only 5 ingredients, and none of them are bananas. So can you guess what they are?! Make this in a blender, and you’ll be scooping it from the freezer for…days? weeks? However long you can make it last (we don’t judge!).
