    I'm not a paleo eater, but that article accurately sums up pretty much every experience I've had trying to make treats with protein powder.

    I've made some great peanut butter, oatmeal and protein powder balls.

    So much yes...Pinterest LIES about the tastiness of any treat that is not the real thing.

    People keep telling me such things exist, but somehow everything I make ends up tasting like I left an unwashed protein shaker sitting in my gym bag for three days. Occasionally I still get this wild idea that this time, protein powder and greek yogurt will create a delectable super protein snack. It creates sludge that tastes like feet, every time.

    OMG I laughed so hard, now I'm getting crazy looks in the office lol. Wonderful read, thank you @evileen99.
    The cookies look exactly the same before they are digested as after. They are eternal and unchanging. As time passes, they don't decline in quality or taste because they can't. They've already started out at theoretical zero on that scale. I weep as I take a bite. These cookies will outlive me unless I destroy them.
    ^^^^My favorite lines lol

    I'm not even going to speculate how you know that it taste like those things. ;)

    I signed up for these weekly meal plans through a Groupon one time, and they would send you a weeks worth of regular meals, paleo meals, heart healthy meals, etc. Every week I would look at the paleo recipes and think, "that doesn't looks so bad, I bet it would be good with mashed potatoes, or pasta, or bread".

    I just don't get it, but this article made me LOL

    That was fantastic. It reminded me of that one time a "friend" took me to a "raw" "dessert" shop.

    I just couldn't.

    "It's sort of like the Inquisition, but less fun."

    Hahahahhaaaaaaa.... what a brilliant piece of writing!

    As an(other) Italian and generally sensible-thinking person, I simply could not countenance any kind of diet which cuts out entire food groups (life without pasta and cheese? Inconceivable!).

    That was one of the most awesome things I have ever read lol! And yeah, I also had an epic fail with my paleo experiment a while back. Not ever going back to that, shudder :p
