D. Scott Carruthers’ 6 Easy And Satisfying Paleo Dinners
Paleo is a modern diet that makes you feel awesome. It boosts your mood, energy levels, and performance. It includes lean meats and fish; fruits and vegetables; and select nuts and oils. The regimen discourages grain-based foods, starchy vegetables, dairy and refined sugars, as well as highly processed foods. Once you know what should be in and what to keep away from, it becomes easier to plan your meals.
Let us look at a few dinners that D. Scott Carruthers, found worth the effort.
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes provide a filling source of fiber and proteins. They are full of vitamins and minerals. Scoop out the middle part of the baked sweet potatoes and stuff it with an accompaniment of your choice. It goes down well with a mix of skillet-fried broccoli, potatoes, and beef. Cut out the meat and add more broccoli for a vegetarian version of the same.
Spicy Chicken With Cauliflower Rice
Chicken cooks fast and is an excellent option when you are short on time. Make sure the cauliflower is in equal proportions to the chicken to bring out the blended tangy taste. Marinating the chicken adds flavor and tenderness. Serve it with a mild curry sauce. You can also add nuts or a fruit smoothie to balance.
Grilled Beef Skirt Steak With Vegetables
Enjoy a lean steak sautéed over high heat to a medium. Skirt steak is inexpensive. Slice the steak into thin pieces to reduce the cooking time and to improve the flavor. Marinate the steak with a mix of olive oil, lime, and garlic. The steak should have a strong, savory taste as opposed to hot. Pair it with grilled vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, and spring onions.
Baked Squash And Kale
This is the perfect alternative for the strict vegetarian. It takes a tad bit of time getting the butternut squash ready. However, it’s a fairly hands-off affair after that. Dress it in kale and almond and season it with salt and pepper to taste. It is an exceptional option for those slow winter evenings.
Grilled Fish Sticks With Steamed Broccoli
A family-friendly meal that provides enough protein to get through demanding situations. Substitute the dipping flour with almond flour. Serve it with ketchup paired with steamed green vegetables such as broccoli or kale. You can also cut up the fish fingers to make a tasty snack. This combo will keep the hunger pangs at bay and enable your body to recover faster.
Honey-Glazed Pork Chops
This consists of seared and baked boneless pork chops glazed with balsamic vinegar and honey sauce. The honey adds thickness to the sauce and balances out the vinegar. This meal does not need prior preparation and is an excellent option when you are on the go. You can have it with roasted garden vegetables of your choice.
A Paleo option is highly satisfying and provides many health benefits. You will experience better sleep and digestion, clearer skin, mental clarity and a general stupendous feeling about you.
