It's often easier shopping if you head to a farmer's market or Whole Foods to find the healthiest and freshest Paleo-friendly foods, but many of these you can also find at your average grocery store. Check out our go-to Paleo approved grocery list! Meats The fresher the meat, the better. Try to stay away from processed or cured meats, and look for GMO, hormone, and antibiotic free whenever possible.
Fish offer an unexhaustive list to Paleo dieters. When shopping for fish and shellfish, also lean torward wild-caught and ear canned tuna and salmon sparingly.
Some of our other articles have gone into detail about what specific fruits are the healthiest, but here are a few guidlines to keep in mind.
Again, this is another category where you can go to town. There are only two exeptions which are starchy veggies like potatoes (which can be consumed, but in strict moderation), and legumes like chickpeas, lentils, peas, peanuts, and soybeans (these are to be left off your lsit completely). Nuts Add a crunch to a recipe or eat them as a healthy snack!
Oils supply healthy fat and give you some excellent alternatives to regular cooking supplies that may not be paleo. When shopping for oils look for words like extra-virigin and unrefined.
Yes, alcohol is allowed on the Paleo diet, but you should only make it an occassional thing. Other beverages include:
07/11/2013  Smoothies are a great source of protein, energy, and vitamins. They are essentially a meal in a glass. However, some people forget that there are ways to make them healthier, and less processed. 1. Choose at least two fruits. Keep in mind what you’re trying to achieve with your current diet, and choose fruits and vegetables that line up with those goals. Some of our favorites are: berries, avocado, spinach, arugula, carrots, watermelon, and bananas. 2. Choose your base. The more fruits and vegetables you incorporate, the less liquid you’ll need. The healthiest options are green tea, coconut water, almond milk, or water. 3. Now add something nutritious to thicken it up. Try nut butter, yogurt, ice, oats, coconut meat, or chia seeds. 4. Now, add a layer of sweetness without the extra calories. This could be spices or herbs. I personally enjoy a hint of honey , vanilla, dates, figs, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 5. Lastly, get the boost you need by adding extra protein or super foods. This is a really important piece of weight loss, muscle building, and just getting the extra vitamins you need. Try protein powder, fish oil, goji berries, flaxseed, bee pollen, probiotics, vitamin powder, wheatgrass, sprouts, or acai powder. Try these ideas for breakfast, lunch, a snack, or dessert.

Because many people have developed a sensitivity to this protein after experiencing stomach issues, acne, and unwanted abdominal bloating. So what is gluten and why should you know about it? Gluten is a protein found in barley, wheat and other grains. People are becoming more and more gluten intolerant because agricultural companies have added more protein into grains for nutritional purposes which in turn increases the gluten content. As we all know, too much of anything is never good. Our digestive systems have an issue breaking down and absorbing too much of this protein. That means undigested particles being left in our system to cause inflammation and other issues. Common foods that contain gluten: -Grains- wheat, Spelt, Rye -Pasta -Rice -Soy -Beer Gluten Safe foods: -Oats -Quinoa -Amaranth -Corn -Buckwheat If you sense that you may have an issue with gluten try cutting it out of your diet for a week and see if you symptoms subside.
