3.            Add coconut flour. Mix until smooth.

4.            Lastly add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

Paleo Porridge Menu

Porridge is a nice way to start the day because it is warm, a little bit sweet, and it stays with you through the entire morning. But if you are following a traditional porridge recipe you won’t get too far while on Paleo. All of the necessary modifications have been made in this version so you can enjoy it without worrying if you are staying within the guidelines. Eggs, flour, coconut milk, and seasonings have combined to make one yummy porridge. This can serve as a standalone breakfast without any meat eaten at the same time. Paleo does focus on a meat and vegetable balance, but breakfast can be a lighter meal.

What you need:

·         2 eggs

·         1 tablespoon coconut flour

·         0.5 cup (1 dl) coconut milk (preferably extra creamy)

·         1 pinch salt

·         seasoning of choice (I usually go for maybe half a tsp of ground vanilla pods…a little bit cardamom is nice too)

What to do:

1              Put everything in a small pot and mix it well.

2              Run over low heat while stirring until preferred texture.

Paleo Pumpkin Granola Recipes

If you like to start your day with granola, most other versions you see on store shelves will not be approved on the Paleo diet. You’ll need construct your own granola recipe using Paleo foods such as nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and spices like cinnamon, and pumpkin spice. This gives you the ability to customize the granola according to your own taste as well as make sure you are only using high quality ingredients. You’ll want to avoid eating it with yogurt as well, as that’s a dairy product. Try it with almond milk as a delicious and nutritious substitute that’s dairy free.
