Pink Paleo Macaroons
I made these yummy pink paleo macaroons and they were a hit! They’re so easy to make and also so delicious.
You can pair these easy to make treats with your favorite dinner- or have them as a snack or part of any meal.
I love macaroons in particular because they have more healthy fat and protein than other cookies (especially this recipe)- so they’re more filling- and they’re also typically a little lower in sugar, so it doesn’t leave you feeling like you have a sugar high (always a good thing!).
You can skip the beet juice to avoid making them pink (if you want to make them for another occasion)- and you can also add cacao powder for a chocolate flavor if you like!
Enjoy these treats!
