What You Can Expect In Our Paleo Recipes The paleo diet focuses on eating natural, high-quality food. It removes refined sugar and other processed foods from your diet and replaces them with real, healthy alternatives. Eating paleo is good for you, downright delicious, and will make you feel great.

We’ve created four delicious recipes that are easy to make and will impress your family and friends. Below are the key components of a good paleo diet. We’ve integrated these concepts into each recipe.

1. Vary Your Fruits & Veggies

By varying your fruits and veggies you gain the added benefit of incorporating different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients into your diet, which will keep you healthy. In these recipes you’ll see a variety of colorful vegetables.

Did you know? It’s been proven that organic vegetables have more nutrients than conventionally grown vegetables. While they may be a bit more expensive, doesn’t it seem worth it if you’re getting 2-3 times more nutrients?

2. Use Fats High in Omega 3

Fat is probably the most misunderstood macronutrient. It’s ok to eat the right kinds of fats. In fact, it is necessary. Plus, without some form of fat, you’ll have a tough time cooking. Focus on using high quality fats like olive, coconut, and avocado oil.

Consuming quality fats high in omega 3s actually helps your body to burn body fat. Omega 3s and omega 6s are important in brain function, muscle growth, and hormone production.

What’s most important is trying to balance your omega 6 to omega 3 ratio. This is because omega 6s can be good for you in the right quantity, but they also cause inflammation and compete with omega 3s in the body. Most Americans have an omega 6 to omega 3 ratio anywhere from 12:1 to 17:1 in their diets. This can contribute to cardiovascular disease. In our meals, we aim cook with foods higher in omega 3s.




3. Enjoy Delicious Proteins

In addition to fat, protein keeps you feeling full longer meaning you’ll have fewer cravings for snacks in between meals. Protein is the macronutrient that takes the most energy for your body to digest. In fact, it takes 20-30% of the total protein calories eaten for your body to digest a portion of protein.

In our recipes, we use grass-fed beef which has an omega 6 to omega-3 ratio or around 3:1. We always prefer grass-feed beef to conventionally raised beef, where the ratio can exceed 20:1, depending on the breed of the cow.

4. Use Cleansing Spices

We use spices such as turmeric, ginger, Himalayan sea salt, cilantro, and parsley in our recipes because they decrease inflammation, facilitate detoxification, and improve overall health.

These spices can be added to meals in smaller amounts so the taste isn’t overpowering but you are still receiving the health benefits. You’ll see us do this a lot in our recipes.

Foods You Will NOT Find in Our Recipes

In our recipes you will not find any refined sugars, processed foods, or unhealthy fats. These can spike your insulin levels and promote fat storage. Plus, those aren’t paleo!

Also, you won’t find any food items that aren’t compatible with a strict paleo diet. These include peanuts, yogurt, cheese, garbanzo beans, green bean, snow peas, peas, etc.

Jamaican-Style Beef Stew This unique spin on a traditional beef stew will surprise and delight your family. It tastes complicated but has few ingredients and is incredibly easy to make.

Chipotle Beef + Pork Lettuce Wraps These lettuce wraps are a quick and easy meal that can be made ahead of time for meal prep, or easily doubled for when you have company. We use a combination of ground grass-fed beef and ground pork to get the right level of moisture. Using beef can be too dry, but just pork can be too greasy. A combination of the two…. mmm just right.

Serve with guacamole, fresh salsa, or vinegar slaw.

medium sauce pan and add onion, red peppers, chipotle peppers, and garlic.

2. Just before the onions are transparent and the peppers are tender, add the ground meat and fill the pan evenly for faster cooking.

3. Add smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper.

4. After the meat is just cooked (no pink parts visible) turn the stove off and stir in cilantro and jalapeños.

5. Wash and tear your lettuce pieces. 6. Serve in lettuce wraps with lime as garnish.

Ginger + Garlic Pot Roast This isn’t your average pot roast. It’s hearty, Asian-style flavors will leave you and your family satisfied and craving more. This is a recipe that quickly gains a weekly spot in your dinner plans.

Serve with cucumber salad, cauliflower rice, or roasted veggies.
