Coconut oil - Any recipe that calls for vegetable oil or butter, I use Coconut oil instead.
Almond Butter (w/out any added sweeteners) - This is a great source of protein. I eat it with apples for a sweet snack or dessert, or by the spoonful, and it is a key ingredient in my homemade lara bars (a staple to my challenge).
Veggies of your choice - I am lucky in the fact that I love veggies! To eat strict paleo, you should really be getting at least 3 servings of veggies a day. My favorites are brussell sprouts, beets, arugula, cauliflower.
Spaghetti Squash - Cut in half and bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Scrape out the flesh of the squash with a fork and you will get strands of squash that resemble spaghetti (hints the name)! It is sweet and delicious. I serve with the same toppings I use when I eat pasta (no cheese)!
Avocado - Packed full of protein! - I add to a salad and will eat with my eggs
Eggs! - I cook all sorts of ways, but I usually eat at least one a day. I usually hard boil some on Monday to have the rest of the week.
I also buy meat depending on what we are cooking that week. I try to get grass fed, antibiotic free.
Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast: 2 prosciutto egg/veggie muffins, pineapple, blueberries, and 16 oz of water
Lunch: turkey, lettuce, and tomato (I was at a catered lunch at school where sandwiches were pre-made. Not the best for paleo, so I just ate the sandwich with out the bread). 16 oz of water
Snack: homemade lara bar, and 16 oz of water
Dinner: spaghetti squash with paleo meatballs (will post recipe later).
Headed to Thursday night yoga!
