If you’re on the Paleo diet, chances are you’re in desperate need of some recipe ideas. Like Whole30, Paleo has extremely restrictive ingredient guidelines. Participants are allowed to eat fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, nuts, and seeds, and that eliminates any and all dairy, added sugar, whole grains, legumes, and processed food. The goal is to eat like our hunter-gatherer ancestors—you may even know it as the caveman diet—and if you want some exciting food, you’re going to have to get creative. Aside from the joys of eating like a cavemen, there are a couple reasons you may want to give the Paleo diet a try. The regimen puts a heavy focus on protein, which makes it an excellent option for athletes or anyone looking to lose weight or build muscle. Since it’s also dairy and grain free, it’s also great for anyone that who is interested in eliminating those ingredients from their diet. Whether you’re already living that Paleo life, or are interested in testing it out, these eight snacks are low in calories, taste great, and fit within the restrictive guidelines. A couple of them call for a bit of added salt, so if you’re really serious about sticking to the ingredient restrictions, you’re going to want to leave that salt out. - © Dana and John Shultz via minimalistbaker.com
