Paleo Friendly Restaurant: Lick (Austin)

There are so many Paleo friendly restaurants that can be found in Austin, TX and Lick is among them. by Marla Starr, updated August 25, 2016 Posted on July 5, 2015

Whenever we visit Austin, TX we typically make a trip (or two) to Lick. They serve paleo-friendly ice cream and source their ingredients as locally as possible. When we hear people are heading to Austin we always recommend they make a stop there as well so it was inevitable that we add them to our paleo restaurant recommendations here on Paleo Porn.

This is a guest post by Alison Ver Halen. Alison is a novelist and a long time member of the Paleo Chicago Meetup group. As a life-long foodie, she has found Paleo to be a great way to stay healthy while enjoying delicious food.

Living a Paleo lifestyle starts with eating real, whole foods, and Lick is right there with us.

I know what you’re thinking. How can an ice cream shop be Paleo-friendly?

Paleo Restaurant Rating Scale

Restaurant Rating: How good is it? On a scale of 1-5 (5 being the best we've ever had), how good is the restaurant, no matter if it's paleo or not.

Paleo Rating: On a scale of 1-5 (5 being paleo perfection), how paleo is it? A 5 star restaurant will have grass-fed and pasture raised meats, local, organic produce and no peanut oil in sight.

For those of us following the 80/20 rule, paleo ice cream definitely fits into the 20% of food and drink that’s pure indulgence.

Dairy can be included as part of a Paleo lifestyle, depending on your tolerance, and although sugar is not strictly Paleo, it can be OK as an occasional indulgence.

Paleo Friendly Restaurant Lick - Choices

Not Your Typical Ice Cream

The problem with most ice cream is it’s more than just cream and sugar.

There are all sorts of additives, flavorings, emulsifiers, and stabilizers, many of which are unrecognizable. As if that weren’t bad enough, many places use high-fructose corn syrup instead of any natural or recognizable sources of sugar.

Not Lick. These folks care about quality, and it shows.

Paleo Friendly Restaurant Lick - Rules

They know exactly where their cream comes from (a local dairy in Central Texas) and everything is handmade in the shop.

They churn and pack their own ice cream and all the extras (sauces, cones, etc.) are all made by hand in the shop. The result is some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had.

All The Many Flavors of Lick

They’re not afraid to play around with unusual flavor combinations.

Paleo Friendly Restaurant LickPaleo Friendly Restaurant LickPaleo Friendly Restaurant Lick

Olive oil, avocado, and beets are just some of the less common flavors you’ll find at Lick.

I wasn’t brave enough to venture into this territory on my first visit, but I kind of wish I had.

When I make it back to Austin, I’ll definitely be sure to try some of the more unique flavors.

I tried the Caramel Salt Lick and the Hill Country Honey and Vanilla Bean (which uses local honey as the sweetener) and oh man was I in heaven! This ice cream was sweet, smooth, creamy, and flavorful. It was everything ice cream should be.

Any Negatives?

My only complaint was the portion size.

Considering how much you pay for this artisan ice cream, the scoops are pretty small.

But, you pay for quality, and the quality is definitely there.

Dairy Free Options

If you don’t do dairy, don’t worry. Lick has some pretty awesome dairy-free flavors that are coconut milk based.

They have fewer dairy-free flavors, but they’re definitely just as tasty. The dairy-free flavors include Tart Toasted Coconut, Coconut and Avocado Curd, and Coconut, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl.

Some of these flavors contain eggs, so if you’re avoiding eggs for any reason, be sure to look for the labels on each card that list their ingredients and choose the flavors that are specifically advertised as “vegan”.

Paleo Friendly Restaurant Lick

Lick does a great job of labeling for allergens and if you want to give any (or all of) the flavors a taste, just say the word and they’ll give you a tiny spoonful.

Tell Them Paleo Porn Sent Ya!

Next time you’re in Austin, we highly recommend you give Lick a try.

This was my first time in Austin (and my first time at Lick) but Marla and Jeff have been here several times in the past and they have tasted many of the different flavors.

It's been a killer #paleofx weekend with @paleohabits and @manwellfed. #paleoporn #paleo #primal #pfx14
