Go To Paleo Treats

When I have a craving and really need a treat I blend a frozen organic banana in the food processor with organic dried unsweetened berries and raw cashews. It very closely tastes like ice-cream and saves me from cheating. I would love to hear what others' paleo snack treats are.

I do dark chocolate and a shot of scotch each night. (sshhh I know... )0

My comfort food is pancakes. At the beginning of the week, I make a batch of coconut or almond flour pancakes and keep them in the refrigerator. When I need a sweet treat, I warm up a tablespoon of real maple syrup and the pancake. Yummy and comforting.
I love your idea of the "ice cream". Will have to try. Thanks! ~Skye :flowerforyou: 0 -

I am allergic to almonds and am always looking for new coconut flour pancake recipes Skye, would you mind sharing the recipe you use? I haven't been able to find a great one yet.0 -
Crab legs and butter
artichokes
red wine!!0 -
Dark Chocolate and a glass of red wine. I've tried a few pudding recipes - mashed avocado, cocoa powder and maple syrup, and one made with cocoa powder and chia seeds. I see a theme here for me - it's all about chocolate!! Another favorite though is sliced apple microwaved with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon. Yum!0

Dark chocolate is definitely a go-to treat. Larabars also.0

I love Larabars and have a wicked homemade recipe if you're interested. They are easy, delicious and WAY cheaper.
PS: I suddenly have a craving for steak and crab legs (YUM YUM)0 -
This thread is making my mouthwater. Most of these are great treats and are well deserved. The crab leg treats is great. While on the high end on the price scale for a treat, definitely well deserved at times. What a way to celebrate success, fills my urges for treats as well as keeps me motivated.0

I'm experimenting weekly with grainfree cake recipes. The first one, a chocolate cake with only 6 teaspoons of coconut palm sugar - was very chocolaty, and not sweet. After the first slices as a dessert, I realized it would taste awesome as a chocolate toast with melted butter on it. I'm definitely going to have to make that cake again...
-
- The last cake I made (Tuesday) - a Lemon coconut cake - had too much coconut flour and while the flavors were right - had the texture of lemon dirt... That 'treat' is going to take a while to finish ...0 -
I do sweet potato brownies with dark chocolate chunks! And if you want to talk about pancakes... Iv'e tried every recipe and finally found one that tops them all. At least for me. And they are sweet potato pancakes! Holy Moly! I never knew you could sweet potato-fy so many foods and make them moist and delicious.0
-
is there a recipe for those brownies????0
-
I too LOVE sweet potatoes but am trying to NOT eat them much but I'd love to have some recipes!0
-
I make homemade Larabars. They're much cheaper than store bought and taste better, imo. I'll also make banana nut bread using almond flour. But almond flour pancakes are my favorite.0
-
Dried fruit, especially the mango from Trader Joes. Nuts, also usually from Trader Joes. I have not tried any paleo baking yet but it is on my to do list.0
-
I have also made banana nut cake, but had to turn it into banana nut bread and toast it with some butter to eat it. It wasn't that good and honestly had a grayish color that looked very unappetizing. Yesterday I made banana almond butter pancakes with cinnamon. I purposely made 6, ate one and froze the other 5 in ziploc freezer bags. This way I can save them for longer than a few days and just pop one in the microwave for a minute or so to have as a treat.0

Yours sounds fabulous.

I don't really make treats of any kind...I do drink wine though. If I have a "treat" it is usually more like something I shouldn't be eating like french fries or chicken nuggets (GF always). I did have an ice cream binge not long ago but I hadn't had ANY in 4 years. Not my thing, I am a fried food girl!0
-
I love treats, and live for them... I have a sweet and salty tooth (scary that I have both) and closer to TOM - they both come out full force. Last night, I did something bad - I bought a bag of butter popcorn. I didn't open it - but, I'm thinking that TOM is going to have me craving that salt and it seems a lesser evil fix than my salt n vinegar potato chips would be...

I still have 2 icecream bars left... it takes me months to eat ice-cream. and, the colder outside, the less likely I'll touch them.0

Since starting Paleo 4 weeks ago, I haven't really had any dairy at all. And I am a HUGE cheese lover. I would put chesse and more cheese on everything. I haven't yet found a substitute for some delicious oreos and milk...doubt I ever will LOL0
-
well, I would recommend dark chocolate grain free and very low sugar - cake with a cup of tea ... 0
-
But I turned the last batch I had of that cake into chocolate - toast and it tasted decadent with butter melted on it.0

Pumpkin coconut milk shake with ginger 0

Gelatin coconut milk panna cotta0

I love making chocolate truffles with dates and cacao powder. I also love to dive into a bag of Krave Jerky or Alive and Radiant Kale Krunch! Those are great snacks because they are still Paleo! But yeah, dark chocolate is my number one!0

I've used this one and they taste just like pancakes made with white flour.

there are also more crepe like pancakes made with basically just cream cheese and eggs that I like when im trying to avoid carbs. They're also really good, in my opinion

How do you make truffles with dates and cacao powder (not cocoa powder, BTW?)? I'd love to do this.

When I'm feeling in need of pampering, I'll stir up a batch of garlic-and-butter (or coconut oil) shrimp, deglazed with some white balsamic vinegar, served over salad or cauliflower rice. It's incredibly satisfying, especially because it's hard to find wild-caught shrimp, so it's a luxury to find it. I bought two bags of Argentinian red shrimp today at Trader Joe's. Kind of stretched my food budget beyond the comfort zone but now that shrimp is in the freezer for future use.0

I've made fake me out brownies just blending up the dates with the cocoa powder (i do it until it tastes right) and then i add in walnuts. They taste just like fudgey brownies!
heres a basic recipe
