Absolutely fantastic. Honestly, most people on paleo do have cheat days and if your health allows some of these ingredients, make this dessert. The fresher the fruit the better. Go with clean and organic on a cheat day and your body is thankful for a change and treat. Honestly so good. It would be cool if you had a seperate page on this site for clean/organic/cheat days (semi/non paleo) best ofs. Perchance to Cook and Perchance to Paleo and Perchance to Clean Cheat lol!
Thank you! 🙂 I love those ideas!
