22 Delicious Paleo Desserts

What is Paleo? It's short for the Paleolithic diet, which follows the eating habits of the earliest humans from about 2 million years ago. That means avoiding any food categories that were not available to humans at that time, such as refined sugar, processed grains and processed oils. But that doesn't mean followers of the Paleo diet eat like cave men. In fact, we found 22 delicious desserts to prove just how tasty the Paleo diet can be.
