When you make the switch from eating a modern diet to eating a Paleo diet, it can be difficult to figure out what you will snack on each day. However, with a little forethought and creativity, you can snack to your heart's content with plenty of Paleo-friendly options.
The below list should give you a little inspiration for planning your own snacking options. Enjoy!
- Nuts dusted with cinnamon and baked on a low temperature (around 250° Fahrenheit / 120° Celsius) for 10-15 minutes or dusted in a dry skillet.
- A banana spread with homemade, Paleo-friendly nut butter of choice.
- Hard-boiled egg, sprinkled with black pepper or paprika for a flavor boost.
- Sliced raw veggies wrapped in smoked salmon.
- Broccoli tossed with olive oil and minced garlic, roast in a 350° Fahrenheit / 180° Celsius oven for 15 minutes.
