For a lot of people, Paleo means meat. Lots of meat. While that’s certainly true, the Paleo philosophy values balance in everything from nutrition to activity and leisure. This diet also allows for plenty of vegetables! Some dishes will be just as tasty the next day, so look for the Double up note and enjoy the leftovers!
To avoid getting bored with your go-to meat and salad combo, here are some great vegetarian Paleo recipes that are low-carb and tummy-friendly. Best news: most are 19 carbs or less per serving.
Breakfast
Paleo Egg Muffins (Timesaver: Double up)
Start your day with these filling little gems. You can save time not only by doubling the recipe, but by prepping the muffin tins the night before. At only 52 calories and 11 carbs per serving, feel free to go back for seconds. (11 carbs per serving)
Lunch
