It’s only been 2 weeks since my hubby & I started our Paleo diet & finding great paleo snacks has been so fun! Jack has already noticed much less aching in his joints; knees & ankles especially! It just goes to show that gluten can be your enemy, causing tons of hidden inflammation and a life of pain, fatigue, weight gain and more.
So I want to share 3 great paleo snacks that are simple & tasty too.
Kale Chips: Do you like Kale? I love it but must say that these chips are my FAVE! They are crunchy, just the right amount of salt and excellent for you! Kale is a major superfood! Also VERY easy to make.
1 bunch fresh kale (wash & dry)
1 TBSP Olive Oil
Sea Salt to taste
Directions: Cut kale into chip size strips, toss in olive oil & salt. Lay flat on cookie sheet & bake at 225 for 15-20 minutes.
Tip: I wash my kale and lay out to dry for a few hours. Then use a spice called Spike which is a must have in my kitchen. You can use nutritional yeast, sea salt, chili powder, lime juice or what ever you want to flavor your chips.
Quinoa Pudding: I needed something to satisfy my sweet tooth so I found this awesome paleo snacks recipe at www.fivehearthome.com and tried it last week. The pudding is similar to tapioca & is high in fiber & protein too!
Quinoa Pudding: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Directions
I added slivered almonds & blueberries to mine, then sprinkled with more cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg…marvelous! This is a new favorite paleo snack or simple yet healthy breakfast. It can be served warm or cold & stores in fridge for 3-4 days.
Strawberry Ice Cream! I love it! So many people (including me) think that diet literally means, to go without. Not true. Why not have all the “bad” food made with great ingredients?
Ingredients:
Directions: Put everything in your food processor and run it until strawberries are ground up. (Note: This may require prying a strawberry off the blade a few times.) Keep in mind that if you have some left over, you can store it in a snap-top container in the freezer, but because of the lack of sugar, it will freeze rock-hard—so take it out of the freezer a good half hour before you want to eat it and let it soften a bit.
It’s an excellent gluten free, low glycemic, vegan, paleo snack that satisfies any sweet tooth! Next week I’m working on paleo breads, pastas and sourdough recipes…because my family loves all of them & refuses to go without.
