Here's A Great Tasting And Easy Caveman Diet Snack Idea

We all love to snack. The outcome of your health goals can, of course, be greatly varied depending on what you snack on. Some people take each meal very seriously and measure proper portions and even make sure that everything on their plate is something that they should indeed be eating to reach their diet targets. However, to much surprise, most people don't show the same restraint when it comes to snacking throughout the day. This is not a good thing and follow the same lack of logic as eating a huge unhealthy meal with a diet soda on the side....it just doesn't add up!

Mentally snack time is different because of the portion size is obviously smaller and for some this translates to it not counting as much. This could not be further from the truth. When you consider that most children and adults snack 2 - 3 times a day, the type of food definitely matters as these small portions do add up.

If you want to be sure that you are not tempted by snacks that have no nutritional value and that are chocked full of calories, you need to have something different on hand. Keeping healthy snacks near is the only sure way to guarantee that you will turn to them instead of the other stuff. We have a great recipe to share below and if you have these or some other paleo friendly snacks on reserve at home, you will be sure to keep on track with your caveman diet.

Candied Macadamia Nuts

Simple and yummy, just the way we like it. This recipe is a sure winner for macadamia nut fans. However, you can substitute other nuts with the same great outcome if you don't like macadamia nuts. Instead of buy these at the store and overpaying for them, let's make them ourselves and avoid the artificial coloring and preservatives.


Ingredients

2 cups macadamia nuts, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey, ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Throw everything together in a good sized bowl and mix it all thoroughly. Next put it all in 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Now bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes, once they are lightly browned, remove to cool and then serve. These can be stored in zip lock bags for easy snacks when and where you need them.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and make sure to subscribe to our blog as we will be sharing more great ideas for the caveman diet soon!

To your success,
