Larabars…

I got to test out Larabars as a pre-class snack today, and I love them! They’re pretty much the only protein bar you can find at the local grocery store that is paleo-friendly, because they consist of only dates, nuts, and the fruit of your choice. I tried the lemon one first, since it was on close-out for 88 cents at Ralph’s. But, weary of the potential taste of a close-out product, I bought a pecan pie flavored one as backup. The lemon was actually delicious! I plan to go back and buy out the small stock that was left at the store. The pecan one was good as well. I can’t wait to try some more flavors and hopefully find some on sale somewhere in bulk…they are quite pricey!

Here’s what they look like, in case you want to go looking for some. Just stay away from the peanut ones if you are paleo, since peanut is a legume.

I hear there are lots of great recipes to make homemade Larabars, so that might be my next venture. 🙂

Banana and egg pancakes!

This morning we tried the famous paleo pancakes with ONLY banana and egg as the ingredients! We used 3 bananas and 3 eggs, which didn’t make a thick enough batter but still ended up tasting delicious. We’ll probably play around with different quantities next time, but we’re so stoked that there’s a cheap and healthy alternative to regular flour pancakes. Plus, they tasted even better. Yum.

One month paleo!

Sorry for being absentee bloggers…

This month has been super busy! But full of paleo awesomeness. It is incredible how much this lifestyle has changed our bodies in just one month. We have both seen shrinkage in our waistlines and increased energy, and others are noticing it too! Plus, being choosy with our ingredients has made cooking so much more fun and challenging..here are some of the creations we have devoured so far:

Salmon and sweet potatoes: umm, AWESOME combo!

Paleo tortillas..tasted a little more crepe-like but yummy nonetheless.

Pancakes and eggs…the pancakes definitely need a makeover, but hey, we tried.

Almond flour chocolate chip cookies..OMG SO GOOD.

Tried our hand at zucchini noodles, failed, but will try again.

We even found a paleo-friendly restaurant! This is the paleo salad, from Sloppy’s Burritos in San Diego, Hillcrest. Only $6, with free guacamole..so delish!

That’s all for now! Let us know your thoughts or suggestions. We’ll try to post more often!
