At first glance, it might seem like the choices are quite limited and that snacking is less than ideal altogether. While very different than most snacks-in-a-box popular on the SAD (Standard American Diet), it only takes a little imagination and willingness to try out new things to discover a whole new world of healthy possibilities. For example, numerous healthy dips can be prepared with good fats and flavors from citrus fruits like lemons or limes as well as herbs and spices.

Such dips can be enjoyed with simple raw vegetables or with chips made with starchy vegetables like plantains or sweet potatoes. One thing that can be perceived negatively though is that most of the more elaborate snack options, while delicious, take more time to be able to enjoy than simply grabbing a box at the grocery store and eating its contents. Unfortunately, not many ready-made snacking options available in stores are made of only non-toxic and nutritious ingredients. Remember that the extra time spent in the kitchen is a very small price to pay for lifelong health and well-being. Fortunately for us though, as the Paleo movement is getting more and more popular, some high-quality products are starting to become available online. For example, Paleo Brands and Steve’s PaleoGoods are two lines of products available right now that offer grain-free and sugar-free Paleo snacks like beef jerky and trail mixes. If you’re having guests or simply feel like spending a little more time cooking great food, snacks can be transformed into appetizers and suddenly take a very sophisticated look.

Herbed meat skewers, stuffed mushrooms and shrimp cocktails are some examples. Of course, snacking is completely optional on a Paleo diet. In fact, many people end up naturally eating only two meals per day, but it doesn’t mean that snacking is a bad idea, especially if the snack only contains healthy ingredients and prevents you from indulging with bad foods. They can also be great when on the go or as something to eat post workout. genki sushi menu oahuJust remember that your snacks should respect the basic principles of Paleo. yanagi sushi order onlineThis means that most fruits and nuts should be consumed only in moderation. sushi bento box nutrition factsMost fruits are high in the sugar fructose, which is toxic in higher doses and most nuts are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA), especially the omega-6 PUFA. jiro dreams of sushi youtube english

Refer to my article on nuts and seeds to know about the best choices. This also means that snacks containing mainly saturated fat or animal protein are usually great. In this article you’ll find a list of simple and original snack ideas, pointers to recipes that are already on the site as well as four extra snack recipes: macadamia nut hummus, seasoned seaweed, spicy beef jerky, and natural fruit roll-ups. Here is a short list of snack ideas. Some are really simple while others need more preparation, but are perfect for a special treat. Many of these ideas are included in the cookbook: Slices of high-quality salami; Cold left-over meat with mustard or mayonnaise; Kale / plantain / zucchini / sweet potato chips; Naturally fermented dill pickles or sauerkraut; Dips: Tapenade, Baba Ghanoush, salsa, guacamole; Can of tuna or salmon; Piece of dark chocolate; Fruits with coconut milk; Here are some of the snack recipes that are already on the site:

Yields about 1 3/4 cups As discussed in my article questioning nut consumption on a Paleo diet, macadamia nuts are probably the healthiest nuts available because of their high monounsaturated and low polyunsaturated fat content as well as their low levels of anti-nutrients. They can thus be enjoyed without guilt. This hummus recipe is great with anything where you would normally use regular hummus or Baba Ghanoush. Edible seaweeds are too often overlooked on a Paleo diet, but they boast an unparalleled nutritional profile. Among many essential nutrients, most kinds of seaweeds are loaded with iodine, an essential trace element to life. Iodine is especially important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. For most people on a SAD diet, the only reliable source of iodine is iodized salt. Many people on a Paleo diet decide to shun added salt completely or to consume unrefined sea salt instead of regular iodized table salt. This is great, but with such a change, an effort should be made to eat iodine rich foods occasionally.

Seaweeds are a great option. Cooking and consuming seaweeds can be intimidating because they can seem quite bland, tough or bitter at first glance. With the proper seasonings and cooking though, they can become a real treat. In the following snack, nori sheets are simply rubbed with coconut oil, seasoned with sea salt and a small amount of sesame oil, then roasted very briefly. At first, making jerky might seem like a complicated task, but it’s actually really simple. It takes quite a bit of time though, but big batches are easy to make all at once. Here are some helpful tips: The meat is usually marinated in a salty mixture to give it taste, but also to draw moisture out of the meat and to help the jerky stay good for a longer time. Many recipes also call for a sugary component, but sugar has no use other than to add taste so there won’t be any added sugar in our healthy jerky recipe. In this recipe, the jerky is roasted at a very low temperature instead of slowly dried.
