I started working out with a personal trainer about two months ago and he is kicking my ass! His workouts are super tough and I am LOVING it! I decided to try drinking protein shakes so I can help rebuild/repair my muscles after all the heavy lifting. After looking into different protein powders- egg white protein, beef protein, & whey protein, I decided grass-fed whey protein was the way to go. I normally avoid dairy as much as possible (I’ll indulge…
So, I’ve been wanting to experiment with fermented foods for a long time. I eat fermented foods. I’ve just never made my own, until now. I bought a book on fermenting foods about two years ago and have been so distracted, so I never tried. Someone I know had more kefir grains than he was able to keep up with and offered some to me. I took that as a sign it was time to finally try fermenting foods.…
Everyone deserves a muffin once in a while, and if it’s a chocolate chip muffin that’s even better! You only live once, so you might as well enjoy it. These chocolate chip muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, corn-free, and soy-free, so you don’t have to sacrifice your health while enjoying the occasional muffin. I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips and Sunbutter. I’ve always been a believer in “paleo treats” and recreations of comfort foods. There’s no reason you should…
Blueberry muffins are pretty popular, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually seen a strawberry muffin before. I have always preferred strawberries to blueberries, so I thought why not make strawberry muffins instead of the traditional blueberry muffins? I love to have muffins for breakfast because they’re grab and go. The thought of having to cook breakfast in the morning is just daunting to me. I really don’t like to do anything until after I’ve had my coffee, and that…
Gingerbread muffins! Seasonal flavors make me excited to eat and I am big fan of muffins. Youfreshnaturals coco-nut butters are so delicious, I had to make their seasonal Dark Chocolate Gingerbread be a part of my recipe. Make these muffins and enjoy the holiday season even more (if that’s possible)! These muffins are not very sweet, so if you like them sweeter add some more maple syrup. Easy- ***** Fast- **** Spicy- no Ingredients: 1 cup Dark Chocolate…
Before I became paleo I was obsessed with Pumpkin Lattes from Dunkin Donuts & Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. I always looked forward to fall and enjoying the specialty coffees. Now that I know those lattes are full of junk, I make my own. I personally don’t put the maple syrup in because I enjoy it fine without the sweetener. This coffee is my favorite part of the morning! Ingredients: 2 cups brewed black organic coffee 2 scoops Vital Proteins…
I am a HUGE fan of pumpkin season. People make fun of me for it but I don’t care. I’m all about pumpkin everything. I wanted to make a pumpkin muffin recipe that’s a bit different than the usual, so I made these with hazelnut flour. I also used Youfreshnaturals Caramel Pumpkin Spice Coco-Nut Butter and let me say these came out even better than I was expecting. Absolutely delicious. I like to eat two of these for breakfast…
Before I became paleo I never ate eggs; I hated them. I started incorporating them into my diet as part of my paleo lifestyle. At first, I always had to “mask” the egg taste with ketchup and bacon. I gave up ketchup for a while, but I didn’t want to give up eggs, so I had to figure out a way to make them more palatable for me. This scrambled egg recipe is delicious! Egg haters like me now…
This recipe is great for a quick on the go breakfast in the morning. Make them the night before and then just grab and go in the morning. This is an easy recipe and is fairly quick. The muffins bake is 15-20 minutes, so you can wash the dishes while they’re baking and then they’ll be done shortly after that. These muffins taste great and are filling. Some paleo people don’t consider treats and baked goods as strict paleo.…
