Snacks
Hey crew! So a lot of people have been asking about Paleo-friendly snacks. I know it can be tough to stick to the Paleo lifestyle being college students; here's some ideas on how to stave off hunger.
Nuts are great for staying satiated. A handful of almonds, walnuts, or pecans goes a long way.
Great tip from Martha: get a little Ziplock bag...go to the cafeteria and grab a plate of said nuts, vegetables (carrots, broccoli, celery, whichever you prefer)...and put it in the bag. Take to class, and you've got a great little snack. Bonus: if there's grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs, or any other goodness, put it in the bag.
ALMOND BUTTER! This stuff is The Goodness. Have a tablespoon or two, and you're good. And if you have to, do peanut butter (yes yes, I know it's not Paleo); it's better than eating fries.
Beef jerky is awesome as well. If you can combine it with the nuts and vegetables you've gathered from the caf, you have a great little meal right there. I'm picky and stick to the Trader Joes and Whole Foods brands; the less ingredients in it the better.
A lot of people have asked me about bars. The only bars I eat are Larabars. They're Paleo for the most part; just don't go too crazy, treat them like a dessert.
And remember: enjoy yourselves! We are not robots. It's not a disaster if you drop off the Paleo wagon for a day or two during the week. This is a process so be patient and, as always, feel free to ask questions!
Mike
