We are sending off 2018 with a big hug, and starting 2019 with a recap of our Top 10 most loved Paleo recipes on Instagram. If you aren’t yet following us on Instagram, that’s where all the fun stuff happens first, and we’d love to see you there!
In addition to these Paleo favorites, there are many more on our blog which you can search by keyword or category. Also, many of this year's Top 10 Keto and Top 10 Vegan recipes are Paleo too (and always always Gluten Free).

9. Paleo Chocolate Coconut Protein Bites
- 1 bag Paleo Energy Bite Mix

- 1/3 cup water
- 12 oz Vitacost chocolate chips (melted for dipping)

- 1-2 drops of Peppermint Oil or extract (optional)

- Roll mixture between your hands to form bite-sized balls.
- Place the balls on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate. You can add a bit of coconut oil to thin the chocolate out - it makes it easier to dip the protein bites.
- Dip the protein bites into the chocolate dip, and place back on parchment paper.
- Immediately top each protein bite with coconut flakes (so they stick to the chocolate).
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm.
