Real flavor. Real taste. Real ingredients. That’s the idea behind Julie’s Real products that are centered on real goodness.

Julie Fox, Founder, Julie’s Real, shares the story behind how she got started with Paleo-friendly recipes and of course, she makes us some yummy desserts! Here’s more:

-Non-paleo ingredients that are easily replaceable with paleo ingredients: white flour, cane sugar, milk, butter, peanut butter
-Paleo ingredients to adopt that can substitute non-paleo ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup, almond milk, coconut oil, almond butter/cashew butter
-Benefits of substituting with paleo ingredients/foods: Benefits of following a Paleo diet include – eating cleaner, unprocessed ingredients aids digestion/allows your body to process the food more easily and efficiently; whole food, unprocessed ingredients provide energy rather than the feeling of fatigue after eating; these un-processed foods provide more nutrients for your body to use; dairy products are linked to heart disease and cancer while plant based products like nuts/almond milk are the opposite.

About Julie’s Real:

-Julie started Julie’s Real after her husband Mike was diagnosed with Barrett’s Esophagus. When they received the diagnosis, they immediately changed their diets, omitting grains, dairy, processed foods and refined sugar, adopting the Paleo diet. Julie didn’t want Mike to feel like he was on a diet, so she began making yummy Paleo snacks for him. What followed? Julie’s Real was born!
-Julie’s Real products are made with all-natural whole food ingredients, including real organic vanilla beans, organic almond four and organic coconut sugar – no extracts or flavorings – no cane sugar and no gmo’s. Just real food… and they are REALLY good!
