Yum up the Paleo menu with these recipes.
Whether you’re dipping your toes into the prehistoric waters or already living the Paleo lifestyle, it can be challenging to find delicious Paleo dinner ideas. No worries! We’re sharing these 11 Paleo-friendly dinners. Add a few to your regular menu roster.
What is a Paleo diet? Paleo is choosing to eat the types of foods our ancestors would have eaten, like lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Proponents of the Paleo lifestyle avoid modern foods and ingredients, such as dairy, grains, processed foods, and refined sugars, because they believe these foods contribute to many chronic medical conditions, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and some cancers.
The Paleo dinner ideas below are a great place to start. You’ll find recipes loaded with nutritious vegetables, like the tasty Cauliflower Stir Fry, as well as those that offer healthy fats, such as the Seafood Fra Diavolo. Many of them are slow cooker recipes, too, which makes it easier to eat Paleo because you can assemble the ingredients in the morning and arrive home to a healthy dinner that’s ready to enjoy—it’s Paleo done easy!
