I don’t usually set a new year resolution. Part of it is because I rarely remember to check what they are and keep myself accountable (Okay, this may need to change in 2019).
But in this new year, I want to create more easy healthy paleo desserts and snacks for those of you who may have a busy schedule.
I know when I was working my 9 – 5 corporate job, it was hard to find the energy or time to create healthy snacks for my sweet tooth.

Superfood Chocolate Bark {Paleo}
Ingredients
- 3 bars of paleo chocolate
- 1/4 cup goji berries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup pistachios
- 2 tbsp shaved coconut
Instructions
- Break up the chocolate bars into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium heat until completely melted. Stir occasionally to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a cookie sheet.
- Pour the chocolate on top of the pan and spread it to the preferred thickness. Let the chocolate set for a little bit.
- Spread all the toppings across the chocolate.
- Freeze the chocolate bark for 30 minutes.
- Take it out from the freezer, break it into pieces, and ENJOY!
Notes
- If you dig the bitterness of chocolate and sugar-free treats, you can choose to use 100% dark chocolate. The berries and goji on top will add a little sweetness to it still.
- Feel free to be super creative with the toppings. Everything goes with chocolate
