Paleo Recipes: Breakfast

I remember when I first heard about the Paleo CookBook diet, I remember thinking it makes a lot of sense – the less processed, less refined the food, the better it’s got to be for me.

It was pretty easy to find cookbooks that had a list of nice meals to make for dinner, but breakfast? Other than eggs, I had no clue what to make. The paleo recipe cookbook has given me a lot of new and simple recipes I can make for breakfast – and many of them call for ingredients I’ve already got on hand.

If you are anything like me, you have to be careful about what you eat, but I love a proper breakfast, especially at the weekend. And that’s where this cookbook suits me perfectly! I can easily make anything from almond pancakes to bacon and pepper frittatas that I can share with the kids.

But I really recommend the pancakes and muffins recipes – I still can’t believe this is diet food.

Paleo Diet vs Atkins

Comparing the paleo diet to the atkins diet is pretty simple:

Atkins revolves mostly about restricting carbs where the paleo diet is more about restricting neolithic foods. What does restricting neolithic foods mean? Essentially it means only eating paleolithic foods… or eating like a caveman.

The paleo diet is common sense approach to nutrition (and, for me, backed up by the well-researched book, Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes).

While being on a caveman diet I saw results pretty quickly and given my love of cooking I was very excited to go cookbook shopping for paleo recipes.

I’ve bought a lot of recipe books on my journey to a more healthy diet. And some of those cookbooks seem to be comprised of recipes that were conceived purely on theory and not at all on taste (cough..Atkins..cough). Paleo recipes in general are great, but I wanted to find one book that had great breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes.

I recommend the paleo recipes book as it has breakfast, lunch and dinner covered but it also fulfils all of my diet choices without me having to adjust the recipes to fit what I eat. And the Enchiladas recipe is out of this world. But you will discover that yourself.

Healthy Dinner Recipes for the Paleo Diet

A great recipe you will discover in the Paleo Recipe book is the Paleolithic Chicken and Carrot Curried Soup Recipe. This is great recipe to loose weight and it will leave you feeling ight, yet satisfied after the meal.

This recipe is just one of the 370 recipes in the cookbook and we thought we would share it with everyone as its just one of the great recipes.

The ingredients you will need include: ½ tbs curry powder, 1 cup of diced chicken breast, 1 cup of chopped carrots, ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, ½ cup of coconut milk, 1 stalk of celery, 1 medium sized onion, 2 cups of water, 1 tbs olive oil and just a little bit of pepper.

Directions:

(1) Sauté celery and onion with olive oil. After a few minutes of letting them sizzle simply throw in the carrots and walnuts. Sauté these for several more minutes.

(2) Then simply add the chicken and add 2 cups of water. Be sure not to cover and allow the ingredients to simmer for about 15 minutes.  Simmer until the chicken and carrots are tender.

(3) Then simply throw everything into a food processor, add some coconut milk and blend.

(4) Lastly, simply add some curry powder, sprinkle some pepper and blend all over again.

Then simply serve and enjoy . For a bit more kick top it with some crushed macadamia nuts and agave.
