Paleo Cookie Dough Truffles



  • 1 TBS raw honey
  • 1 TBS coconut milk or almond milk
  • 1 TBS ground flaxseed meal
  • 4 TBS shredded unsweetened organic coconut
  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 TBS melted coconut oil
  • 1 TBS vanilla
  • chocolate - to taste. Use as high % dark as possible. (less sugar, more cocoa - the Lindt 90% only has 3 grams sugar per serving. I chopped up half the bar.

Mix all of these ingredients in a small bowl, roll into truffles, chill for 30 minutes, then enjoy! Makes about 6-10 truffles. My boyfriend and I enjoyed one each as a Saturday night treat, then I put the rest in the freezer with the plan to unthaw at room temperature for future enjoyment.

Note: this is a once in a while treat only. Whilst technically "paleo," consuming in large quantities isn't cool man.



Saturday night higher-carb dinner:
Organic lean beef burgers on bed of spinach, acorn squash, asparagus with lemon pepper.
