and heart will thank you. Avocado, spinach, and a lean protein are
just some of the examples of why this is your new healthy breakfast

Lunch
Healthy Paleo Nachos – Nachos are on the menu when you’re on
Paleo, as long as you make them according to our no-longer-top-
secret in-house recipe. Your coworkers will wonder how you eat all
of this amazing looking food but appear to be losing weight. There’s
nothing quite as satisfying as a big plate of nachos, and on the Paleo
diet you’ll actually be helping to shed the pounds, not add them.

4. 4
Instructions
1. To make the sweet potato chips, preheat the oven to 375
degrees F. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice thinly, using either
a mandolin or sharp knife. In a large bowl, toss them with
coconut oil and salt. Place the chips in a single layer on a
rimmed baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake in
the oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chips over and bake for
another 10 minutes. For the last ten minutes, watch the chips
closely and pull off any chips that start to brown, until all of
the chips are cooked.
2. While the potato chips are baking, start preparing the beef.
Melt the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add
the onion and chili to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until
softened. Add the ground beef and cook for 4-5 minutes,
stirring regularly. Add the garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato
paste, and remaining spices and stir well to combine. Bring the
mixture to a simmer and then turn the heat down to medium-
low. Cook, covered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring regularly.
3. Stir the chopped tomatoes, lime juice, and cilantro into the beef
mixture. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
4. To assemble the nachos, form a large circle with the sweet
potato chips on a platter. Add the beef mixture into the middle
of the circle, and then top with guacamole and green onions.

Snack
Antioxidant Berry Shake – This shake will load you up with
antioxidants which will make you feel good by helping to protect
you from free radicals. Health experts agree that antioxidants play
an important role in helping to support the immune system and
fight off major diseases like cancer and heart disease. No diet would
be complete without a focus on these important nutrients.

learning to make delicious food is key to your success.

4. Coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and place the
halves cut side up onto the sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the squash
is tender when poked with a fork. Remove from oven and set aside
until cooled just enough to handle.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and garlic.
Sauté for a few minutes until the butter is melted and garlic starts to
brown. Add shrimp, salt, pepper, and basil. Cook for 5-6 minutes,
or until shrimp is fully cooked through.
6. While shrimp is cooking, scrape the insides of the squash with a
fork to shred into strands and place the shreds in a bowl.
7. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove skillet from heat and add the
squash strands and lemon juice. Toss to coat well.
8. Garnish with additional basil leaves (optional) and sprinkle with
Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts – A side of Brussels
sprouts goes well with the scampi and provides plenty of fiber.
Brussels sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable that is routinely linked
to anti-cancer benefits. It’s nice to know you’re on a diet that
promotes eating foods that are life-saving, as well as body-
enhancing. Instead of feeling down about eating diet food, Paleo
helps you look forward to eating.
Ingredients
1. ½ lb Brussels sprouts
2. 1 tbsp olive oil
3. 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4. 1 tbsp honey

8. 8
5. 1 tsp garlic powder

7. sea salt & black pepper, to taste
8. This recipe makes 2 servings
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet
with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray or spread

the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and spices. Toss with
hands until fully coated.
3. Pour Brussels sprouts onto baking sheet in one layer.

them before eating.

Garlic Breadsticks – Top off the going out to eat feeling by having a
serving of garlic breadsticks with your savory scampi. Breadsticks
are just one sign that you won’t have to sacrifice a traditional style
meal on Paleo, you simply make adjustments to how the breadsticks
are made and exclude the ingredients that harm you.

need to cut out the essential ingredients that make brownies so
addictive
