Grain Free - Paleo Chocolate Date Balls

When I figured out that refined sugar bothered me, I took out alot of sweeteners. Maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar and agave syrup were better but I still got a little sick. Dates were the only thing at first that did not make me sick. I made these all the time! They carried me through that time. Now I can handle maple syrup in small amounts and a little honey and coconut sugar.

I still make these often, they are so good! I always have a hard time not eating a bunch at a time.

Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

I love this light simple key lime pie! It is so creamy and smooth and tastes so fresh, and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. You may worry that it will taste like avocados...

But you get the creamy and smooth texture of the avocado that makes it so good! Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie Ingredients Crust Layer 1/2 C. Almonds(any other nut will work) 1/2 C.

It is so creamy and very similar to the "real" cream cheese frosting I used to make. I will be posting the recipe for it soon!
