Welcome to My Paleo Blog!!!

The Paleo Diet (also called the Primal Diet and other like terms) is a simple diet consisting of natural food that we were genetically engineered to eat. The term Paleo comes from the term Paleolithic, referring to the time of our ancestors when we ate based on what was available. Paleo in a nutshell is all about eating natural foods to help achieve optimal health and a healthy physique. The Paleo Diet includes lean meats and seafood, healthy fats (avocadoes, olives, coconut oil), non-starchy vegetables, and non-starchy fruits. The Paleo Diet omits everything else. That everything else includes grains, legumes, sugar and dairy. My goal for this blog is to provide tips on maintaining the Paleo Diet along with delicious paleo recipes.

About Me

My photo
Being fit for almost my entire life and spending most of it in the weight room and outside I decided to try something new in August 2010. It is called Crossfit! And boy has it changed me. I heart Crossfit and it will always be a BIG part of my life. I spend about 80% of my waking thoughts and actions on it because it has transformed my mind and body. I am also very passionate about nutrition, having studied and practiced it for over 10 years. Because of crossfit I have discovered a way to eat that has had an amazing impact on my life...and that is the Paleo Diet. I created this blog to help educate those about the paleo diet in hopes that I can help people make lifestyle changes one meal at a time!

Paleo Choco Banana Bread

Mmm I love the smell of banana bread baking in the oven.  I think this recipe is better than the traditional banana bread recipe.  You won't feel guilty eating a slice as this is gluten, dairy, and sugar free.  Enjoy!
Paleo Choco Banana Bread
1 c almond butter
1 c almond flour
3-4 very ripe bananas (I used 4 as I like a more moist banana bread)
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 c chocolate chips (homemade) or pure cacao powder

Method

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until the bananas are no longer in visible chunks. Pour the batter into a loaf pan (or muffin tin, just adjust the cooking time).
Bake for approx. 35-40 minutes, until the center is hard to the touch. Let the banana bread cool before removing from the pan.
