Yes, Skinny Desserts for Christmas!
For years and years, the holidays have always meant disaster for me, as far as being healthy goes. There were so many events and parties and candy gifts – there was just no avoiding it. I always found a way to justify eating these desserts. Come January, every piece of clothing I owned felt tight, and I felt awful. And of course, bust out the New Year’s Resolutions on January 1.
It doesn’t have to be that way. With some proactive planning, you really can have your cake and eat it, too – as long as it’s healthy! The holiday recipes below give you so many options for delicious treats to enjoy. All recipes are either Paleo or clean. Of course, there is such a thing as overdoing it – even with healthy recipes – but if you’re going to splurge a little over the holidays (and most of us are), this is the way to go.
These are perfect for events, parties, and holidays you are hosting – for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’m sure no one will miss any of the usual unhealthy ingredients!

I am so thankful for this list! I love to bake and girlfriends over, especially at Christmas, but I have Paleo friends that I just don’t know how to serve in this way. These desserts look delicious and will satisfy a sweet tooth while keeping within their diet limitations! Yay!
That’s awesome!!!! I am so glad this is practical! They look so amazing – I am definitely making some for my non-paleo friends – they will NOT know the difference, I’m sure! 🙂 Let me know how they work out!
