With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we’re starting to see boxes of chocolates and candy in stores all over. The upside of being single on Valentine’s Day is I don’t have to worry about someone buying me one of those crap filled “treats” while wishing they had gotten me paleo goodies. I don’t know about you, but I know I’d be ecstatic to receive some delicious paleo treats from my man on Valentine’s Day. So for those of you who have paleo lovers I’ve compiled a list of delicious treats to give them on Valentine’s Day!
1. Eating Evolved- Dark Chocolate Caramel & Sea Salt Coconut Butter Cups: These are seriously delicious. You can’t go wrong with these coconut butter cups! Who needs Reeses when you have Eating Evolved?! The only ingredients are organic coconut, organic cacao, organic cacao butter, organic maple sugar, and himalayan sea salt. Simple, healthy, and guilt-free!
2. Hail Merry- Miracle Tart Coconut Vanilla Creme: They call these Miracle Tarts for a reason! This is one of the greatest desserts I’ve ever eaten. It’s so hard to believe it’s paleo! The ingredients are organic shredded coconut, organic extra virgin coconut oil, organic maple syrup, coconut water, almond flour, organic palm sugar, cashews, organic Madagascar vanilla, and sea salt.
3. Hu Kitchen- Almond Butter + Puffed Quinoa Chocolate Bar: Best. Chocolate Bar. Ever. Every time I go to Hu Kitchen I stock up on these chocolate bars (then end up eating one everyday, so they don’t last long). Goodbye Crunch bars, hello Hu bars! The ingredients are cacao, almonds, organic puffed quinoa, and organic coconut sugar. Quinoa is technically a seed, which is paleo, but is often confused for a grain.
4. You Fresh Naturals- Chocolate Chip Almond Coconut Butter: Go beyond nut butter with You Fresh Naturals! This nut butter is so delicious you can eat it straight out of the jar (or be like me and dip chocolate bars into it). You can even go the extra mile and make scrumptious chocolate chip nut butter cups for a great homemade dessert! The ingredients are almonds, organic coconut, Enjoy Life chocolate chips, organic maple syrup, organic cocoa butter, and vanilla bean powder. They also have a limited edition Red Velvet flavor for Valentine’s Day (Ingredients: roasted cashew butter, organic coconut butter, raw honey, organic cacao butter, grass fed ghee, organic strawberry powder, organic coconut sugar, and organic vanilla bean powder). If you can get your hands on it, make my Red Velvet Fudge for the perfect Valentine’s dessert!
5. Cappello’s- Primal Palate Cookie Dough: If your significant other is a chocolate chip cookie lover (or just a cookie dough lover like myself) look no further than Cappello’s cookie dough! Trust me, it is worth the splurge. This is the greatest cookie dough I’ve ever had, paleo or otherwise. Whether you’re eating chunks of cookie dough, mixing it in ice cream, or baking the dough into cookies, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. You will definitely gain brownie points from this gift! The ingredients are almond flour, chocolate chunks (evaporated cane juice, natural chocolate liquor [non-alcoholic], non-dairy cocoa butter). organic grade B Vermont maple syrup, arrowroot flour, organic coconut oil, organic sea salt, organic vanilla extract, and baking soda.
