Paleo Recipes

Here are a couple of Paleo Recipes that I found that sound very good... haven't tried them yet though.

Primal Trail Mix

March 4, 2010  |  Posted by lkoller | 1 Comment
Store-bought Trail Mix is typically loaded with a ton of sugar – this version, however, weeds out the bad stuff and leaves you with all the satisfying, delicious stuff!
Ingredients:
1 cup raw or roasted almonds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
1 cup blueberries
½ cup raisins
Combine all ingredients in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place (it really can’t get any easier!)

Blueberry “Candies”

March 3, 2010  |  Posted by lkoller | Comments Off
When a sugar craving hits, this blueberry candy ought to fit the bill:
Ingredients:
5 cups blueberries
4 tsp cinnamon
1 ½ tsp ginger
2 egg whites
1/4 cup raw honey (yes, we know that honey is pretty much pure sugar, but when it’s spread out across 5 cups, it won’t have too much of a glycemic impact)
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add in honey and vanilla and stir until combined. With a slotted spoon, add blueberries to the egg mixture. Remove and roll in a small bowl filled with a mixture of cinnamon and ginger. Repeat until all blueberries are covered. Using the same slotted spoon, transfer the coated blueberries onto a plastic dehydrator tray. Dehydrate for 24 hours or until dry. After 8-12 hours, or when you see that one side is dry enough, turn them over to dry other side. Serve or store in an airtight container.
