Sweet Desserts For Spring Holidays

Just because you are on the Paleo diet, doesn’t mean you can’t truly enjoy your 
dessert! There are lots of delicious recipes that are sweet enough to enjoy on spring 
holidays like Mother’s Day and Easter, but still follow the Paleo lifestyle. Here are a few 
fun ideas to try out.

Chocolate Avocado Mousse

This chocolate mousse is going to use avocado as the main creamy component. It lets 
you have a creamy and chocolatey dessert that is also healthy and Paleo-approved. But 
it also uses spices that turn it into a Mexican chocolate dessert, perfect for Cinco de 
Mayo! What you want to use are ripe avocadoes, coconut milk, raw cacao powder, 
vanilla extract, raw honey, cinnamon, and some ground chilies. Mix them together in a 
food processor, cool in the fridge, then serve to your family or guests.

Thin Mints

Guess what else happens in the spring? That’s right – it’s Girl Scout Cookie season! 
Unfortunately, you can’t have any of the regular Girl Scout cookies when you are doing 
Paleo. However, there is a Paleo version of the popular Thin Mint cookies! This is great 
news for anyone who enjoys these chocolate mint delights. For the cookies, you will use 
a lot of basic ingredients many Paleo cookies have like tapioca flour, almond flower, 
cocoa powder, sea salt, grass-fed butter or ghee, and raw honey. Then you want to add 
in the peppermint flavoring with peppermint extract.

Almond Butter Blondies

These cookies are not only Paleo-friendly, but they are also vegan, so your vegan 
friends can enjoy them as well. The almond butter blondies use almond butter for the 
almond flavor, plus chia seeds, water, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, dark chocolate 
chips or raw cacao chips, baking soda, and salt. They are baked just like regular 
blondies or sugar cookies. You can also use cookie cutters if you want to make these 
almond butter blondies to put into your kids’ Easter baskets.

Many natural ingredients are allowed on the Paleo diet that will sweeten up desserts, so 
don’t feel like you have to do without your favorite treats just because you are following 
this lifestyle. There is always room for interpretation in most popular recipes, from these 
blondies, to making cookies that taste just like Girl Scouts’ Thin Mints. It makes it a lot 
easier to follow a new diet or eating lifestyle when you can mix in some of your old 
favorites.
