A simple Paleo Pumpkin Pie recipe with coconut whipped cream – brought to you by Kara Swanson of Live Well Lived. 

Paleo Pumpkin Pie. A simple recipe perfect for the holidays. this recipe

Is November flying by or what? Soon it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas and then 2018!! I seriously can’t believe it. I also can’t believe I don’t have a pumpkin pie on my site. And funny enough Kara Swanson reached out to me a bit ago, eager to share her recipe with you all here.

Kara is an awesome certified nutrition coach who shares a lot of the same views I have surrounding food and your overall lifestyle (13 reasons why diets don’t work), so I knew she’d be a great fit to share a recipe here with you! 

Without further ado, here is Kara to share a little bit about herself and her awesome paleo pumpkin pie. 


Paleo Pumpkin Pie by Kara Swanson

Hi there, I’m Kara. Healthy{ish} dessert lover, certified nutrition coach, founder of Life Well Lived and creator of Transform: Nutrition Bootcamp {where I’ve helped hundreds of women change their nutrition + lose weight + change their lives}.

It’s officially fall, even though it feels more like winter here in Iowa these days. But I’m soaking in the season for cozy sweaters, hot chocolate and alllll things pumpkin.

Speaking of pumpkin, I’ve got the easiest + yummiest pumpkin pie recipe for you. Just in time for all the holiday gatherings and family dinners.

Paleo Pumpkin Pie. A simple recipe perfect for the holidays.

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and I’ve got you covered in the dessert department. And the best part? It’s not only simple + delicious, but healthy too! And your family + friends won’t even know it.  It’s sweetened with pure maple syrup so go ahead and eat the whole pan. I don’t really recommend that, of course, but I won’t judge if you do because it’s that good.

Recreating desserts to make them healthier and better for you is one of my favorite things to do. Desserts don’t have to be unhealthy {or healthy but taste horrible!}. I’m on a mission to show that you can have the best of both worlds → healthy desserts that taste amazing. And this Paleo Pumpkin Pie topped with the creamiest Coconut Whipped Cream is so delicious.
