Paleo Chocolate Coconut Macaroons from Fry Sauce and Grits

I am very excited to have my friend Courtney here to share a healthy dessert option with you all! I, for one, cannot live without some sugar, so I am super pumped about this recipe! Thanks Courtney! ~Amber

Hello Dessert Now, Dinner Later readers! I’m Courtney from the blog Fry Sauce & Grits. Our blog covers lifestyle topics including beauty, healthy living, fashion, interiors, and motherhood. I’ve known Amber for years and I’m thrilled to guest post here. She’s a talented foodie and a wonderful person.

After my first baby, Amelia, I worked to lose 35 pounds and joined the LeanMoms program. It changed the way I think about food and exercise. One of my favorite recipes I learned during that time is these Paleo Chocolate Coconut Macaroons. They’re sweet, satisfying, and have a lovely touch of salt that keeps you coming back for more. When cravings hit—whether for donuts or ice cream—these little treats helped me stay on track. I hope you love them as much as I do.
