What I _________ Wednesday, Vol. 20

What I Am Eating Since Going Paleo Wednesday

I have been eating some pretty odd combos of food since jumping on the Paleo bandwagon.  Also, I thought y'all might be interested in hearing about my "go to" foods that I've been consuming on almost a daily basis.

1. Avocados - I'm averaging almost 1 a day.  An avocado a day keeps the doctor away?!

2. Green monster smoothies - This has always been a morning staple because it makes for a fast breakfast and I like to start my day with  a serving of veggies.  The difference is, now I'm adding fats in the form of full fat coconut milk or almond butter.

3. Breakfast salads - This one is pretty weird, but suprisingly tasty.  It started with leftover spinach , strawberry, and pecan salad from my mom's house that I topped with 2 eggs sunny side up. (Oh how I love runny eggs!) Then, it became eggs on top of any greens or veggies.  This morning I ate roasted brussels sprouts topped with 2 eggs.  My favorite combos contain fruit, though. Speaking of fruit...

4. Fruit, fruit and more fruit - Some hardcore Paleolithian dieters think fruit should be consumed very minimally.  But this sweets lover eats 2-3 servings a day.  It is my candy/cookie/ice cream/cake replacement.

5. Paleo cereal - Cereal used to be my favorite food, until my old trainer told me it was making me fat.  Discovering this treat made me so giddy, because I get my cereal back!  It's basically chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.), seeds (sunflower, chia, pumpkin, etc), unsweetened coconut flakes, cinnamon or cocoa powder, maybe a little protein powder to balance the fats, and almond milk.

6. Almond butter - almost a jar a week.  Good thing I save money by making my own!

7. Lots of new recipes - I'm sure y'all have noticed the influx of new recipes on the blog. And another one coming your way tomorrow. Stay tuned!
