Paleo Pudding Pie - You’ll Never Guess The Secret Ingredient

Paleo Pudding Pie - You’ll Never Guess The Secret Ingredient

paleo-pudding-parsnip-pie

This delicious Paleo Pudding Pie harnesses the benefits of paleo desserts that focus on using whole vegetables, healthy fats, and nuts to deliver Clean, whole-food nourishment.

Paleo isn’t just about eating only meat and fat, it’s an anti-inflammatory diet just like our Clean Diet. A Paleo diet is a great option for clean eating that works for well for people who need to eliminate grains, processed sugars, dairy, and processed foods altogether. This paleo pudding pie sneaks extra fiber and nutrients in via a secret ingredient – parsnips!

Parsnips are a natural weight loss food and contain a wide variety of vitamins and nutrients including a potassium for the heart, vitamin C for stressed immune systems, and dietary fiber. The soluble fiber in parsnips aid in reducing chronic inflammation and help you feel satisfied longer. We maximized the health benefits of parsnips by steaming — a low-fat cooking method.

The coconut milk in this Paleo Pudding Pie is an ingredient widely used in Paleo cooking as a delicious vegan dairy-substitute. The creamy decadent taste of coconut milk might lead you to think it could be unhealthy, but it actually one the healthiest foods available in supermarkets today. Lauric Acid found in coconuts is easily broken down and used in the body as energy. This medium chain fatty acid can even increase your metabolism, helping your body burn fat. Additionally, fats found in coconuts can help you lower cholesterol, prevent heart attack or stroke, and improve blood pressure.

This is a great recipe to help in the transition to cleaner desserts that will make you feel less deprived. So stock up on parsnips while they are in season and if you have any leftovers on hand, be sure to try out one of our favorite clean snack recipes, Parsnip Hummus.
