Paleo Key Lime Squares

One of my all time favourite desserts, reformatted into squares instead of a pie, I give you; KEY LIME SQUARES šŸ¤©. They are 100% Paleo, loaded with good fats, and they do almost nothing to my blood sugar.ā£

In fact, because I eat so low-carb about 95% of the time and am also fairly active, clean desserts like these seem to actually REGULATE MY BLOOD SUGAR šŸ˜±!!! Today was the last day of my Continuous Glucose Monitor trial with @nutrisenseio, and I will share a full review of what Iā€™ve learned and my biggest takeaways, check my Instagram stories for more details! In the meantime, hereā€™s the recipe for these beauties….
