I think paleo treats and paleofied junk foods can be a slippery slope, but I also think they are fun and help keep us sane (if we don't go crazy with them and remember that they ARE still treats)! What are some of your favorites? Right now I'm hooked on PaleOMG's Sweet Potato Brownies (so easy to make and tasty!) and I just used my ice cream maker for the first time and made Butter Pecan Ice Cream from Cavegirl Cuisine. Recipes below.

    I bet this would be good with other nut butters too! Almond butter, cashew butter, maybe even coconut butter!

    I've seen pork rinds on here quite a bit. Do you mean the regular old pork rinds you find in any grocery store?

    Pork rinds typically have only two ingredients on the label; fried pork skins and salt. They are deliciously paleo. Like almond butter, I can't keep 'em in the house or I will smoke the whole container in one sitting.

    I made the recipe for this last night (haven't run it through the ice cream maker yet) and the caramel was INCREDIBLE! Of course, I HAD to lick the spoon ;)

    I'm really excited to try this ice cream.

    I just made butter pecan ice cream and caramel this past weekend!! :) For my ice cream base, I used the vanilla bean recipe from the Gather cookbook because I wanted to use all egg yolks since they make it extra creamy. Then I followed this recipe for the pecans (just sautéed in butter), and the second one for the caramel.

    SO AMAZING. :)

    Other treats I like are just a square of 88% dark chocolate. Or I've made PaleOMG's giant vanilla bean chocolate chip cookies and they were AMAZING and so filling!! I had one for breakfast one day. Haha!

    I make a similar recipe with almond butter and about half or a quarter that amount of raw honey. Last batch I made I used an ice cube tray and got 13 pieces.

    I'm also a fan of paleOMG apple cinnamon muffins.

    I have a great shake that I use sometimes as a meal post workout, but it is also very addictive, so I guess for me that's my treat.

    1 banana
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries
    1/2 cup crushed ice
    3 oz water
    1/2 cup coconut milk

    On really intense workout days, I'm a bit naughty and I add in a scoop of protein powder which makes it even more amazing!
