Wouldn’t it be great if delicious chocolate was Paleo? It basically depends on the type of chocolate people plan to eat. A delicious Baby Ruth or a Kit Kat are out because of the type of chocolate it is. Cocoa powder and cacao nibs are really the only options, but they also have to be unsweetened. There are ways to make the chocolate everyone loves using cocoa powder and cacao nibs. It also depends on how serious people are about being Paleo.

Key Takeaways:

  • Paleo diets do not allow the eating refined sugar, processed foods, dairy, or grains.
  • Some forms of chocolate are allowed on a paleo diet, including unsweetened cacao nibs and unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • People are not allowed to eat most chocolate bars if they are on a paleo diet.

“If one is a more flexible Paleo eater, then they’ll feel OK about having a little chocolate here and there. Just look for a bar with a high percentage of cocoa since these will contain less sugar; aim for at least 75 percent.”
