Paleo Lemon Bars
Paleo Lemon Bars
Lemon bars have always been one of my favorite desserts. Obviously chocolate of any kind gets first billing, but sometimes you just need to change it up and you want something light and refreshing, and Lemon Bars are perfect for just that!
Do you agree??
I have been working really hard to cut refined sugars from my diet. I also am working to fuel my body better. Because when you fuel your body better, you feel better. It is really just that simple.
So when I was craving Lemon Bars the other day, I decided I was going to take on the challenge and make a healthier version of the Lemon Bars Classic.
After a couple tweaks and replacements, these luscious and heavenly Paleo Lemon bars were created! All the goodness without the refined sugar and naughty carbs.
Making these delightful Paleo Lemon Bars low carb and are Keto Friendly – Cue your best happy dance!
So in the words of Maui… You’re Welcome 😉
