Paleo Friendly Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Recipe

Just like any food, if you like it you love it and if you don't like you can do without. Portobello mushrooms are pretty delicious if you ask me. However, some people are not big fans of any mushroom. This is usually due to the texture of a mushroom. However, we I really think that if you are on the fence about mushrooms, this dish may change your mind. It offers a great paleo recipe with some great flavor that will not mask the mushrooms natural flavor, but definitely gives it more to enjoy for those who are not completely sold on portobello's.

This main course dish, should of course be accompanied by some fresh green side. Many people find a salad or a green bean dish to be the most appropriate, but the choice is up to you!

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,

Why Choose The Caveman Diet Over Others?

Everybody is different and of course, the Paleo Diet is not for everybody. However, if you are going to change your current eating habits, it is very important to make a choice that is one, you can stick with for the long haul. After all, if you decide to start a diet and can't stick with it, you will never make it to the point you will be able to actualize the results and reap the rewards of your new healthy life changes. For many people across the globe, the caveman diet or paleo diet is one that has proven to be successful for sustaining a positive change in their eating habits for good.

I know that there are thousands of diets to choose from. This is why many people find it hard to actually decide which one is right for them and begin. No matter what dietary changes you plan, the first step is most definitely the most important. Some people find "fad" diets very enticing because they offer a gimmick that is at first interesting, but then that "cool" feeling wears off and the ability to maintain the diet dies as well. The caveman diet, on the other hand, offers a real-world approach to eating differently and better.

If you know you want to make a change and are not really sure if the caveman diet is what you have been looking for, take a look at the list below. It will give you a quick reference that may help you make a decision about how to proceed.

Reasons To Choose The Paleo (Caveman) Diet

1. You love meat.
2. You don't miss all the chemicals and additives in processed food.
3. You love to shop for fresh ingredients at the local grocery store.
4. You are not afraid of new flavors.
5. You want to keep it simple.
6. You don't want to pretend like drinking shakes is a real meal.
7. You value your body and mental health.
8. You aren't afraid of dinosaurs.
