Paleo Chocolate Banana Cream Pie Bars

Clean eating has become increasingly popular and I for one can understand why. When I eat healthier and more whole foods instead of processed (more of a Whole30 and Paleo way) my body feels so much better. But, what’s a girl with a huge sweet tooth to do when she needs a little sweet treat and doesn’t want her tummy to later suffer? She whips up a Paleo friendly dessert, of course. This weekend I caved to my chocolate craving and made a batch of Paleo Chocolate Banana Cream Pie Bars. It was worth it. So worth it!
