Give your Paleo treats a vibrant twist with these delicious turmeric dessert recipes!
Turmeric can be just the thing you need when whipping up a healthier treat. It’s loaded with curcumin (a compound within turmeric) and offers plenty of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory nutrients, and healing properties for a variety of ailments (1).
Turmeric also livens up any dish with its delicious earthy flavors and warm yellow hue. When added to sweets, it offers a unique touch of spice that mingles perfectly with sweeter flavors. Ground turmeric can even be sprinkled on cookies, candies, ice cream, or donuts! Pro tip: Try adding a pinch of black pepper with turmeric to help your body absorb its benefits!
