Mother’s Day Paleo Recipes 

Among the different holidays that occur in the Spring, Mother’s Day is often people’s 
favorite. You are able to enjoy this time with family, including moms and daughters, 
aunts, sisters, and grandmothers. If you want to make something special for your mom 
or another woman in your life, these recipes are not only impressive, but Paleo-friendly.

Red Velvet Mug Cake

Not only can you make a Paleo version of red velvet cake, but you can make it right in a 
mug! All of these ingredients are those that are allowed on the typical Paleo diet. It 
doesn’t even use any dairy products or refined sugar, just in case your version of Paleo 
restricts dairy. You can make it for yourself any time or make mug cakes for the special 
women in your life who are over for Mother’s Day. What you want to use for the mug 
cake is dairy-free chocolate chips, flax egg (or egg white if you use them), baking 
powder, almond flour, coconut flour, salt, granulated sweetener, dairy-free milk, and red 
food coloring. Mix it together and microwave it in a mug. 

Bananas Foster

This is a popular breakfast that you might feel like you can’t have again while on a ‘diet’. 
But Paleo actually makes room for a lot of the classic recipes, just with some minor 
adjustments. While you will want to choose the portion sizes according to how much 
you’re making, some ingredients that go into a Paleo bananas foster include sliced 
bananas, ghee, coconut sugar, maple syrup, brandy or rum, and of course some 
cinnamon! You can make this indulgent breakfast for your mom, spouse, or other 
special lady in your life for Mother’s Day, and she won’t even realize it is Paleo-friendly.

Berry Spritzer

For the beverage on Mother’s Day, you can make a nice berry spritzer with strawberries 
or other berries that your mom enjoys. This only requires 3 simple ingredients, including 
mineral water, strawberries that have been hulled, and some high grade, organic maple 
syrup. Blend them all up in a blender, add the syrup, then pour into glasses. It is a 
sweet and pretty beverage you can serve for Mother’s Day brunch.

Keep in mind that cooking at home can be wonderful for the whole family. Mother’s Day 
is the busiest restaurant day of the year, so keep your mom from waiting hours for a 
table, and make her a delicious, healthy, Paleo meal.
