Paleo Sweet Potato Bacon and Chive Biscuits
These biscuits are a client favorite – light, fluffy, smoky, sweet and savory all rolled into one. They are paleo and Whole30 compliant (free of grains, dairy, gluten, sugar and legumes) and are a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein to keep you full and energized any time of the day. They freeze and reheat well so they are great snack to take on the go.
