I’m sorry I did this to you. If you are like me and want your “paleo treats” less on the sweet side, heavy on the indulgent side, and insanely chocolately then this one is for you. I mean… I used a half cup of cacao. Again, sorry. You will not be able to stop eating these… straight from the oven or straight from the fridge/freezer. It doesn’t matter. They will call out to you… “Rachael, we are here for youuuuuu.

Anyways, I will keep this short and sweet because, let’s face it. I love each and every one of you, and because of that I want you all to have the awesomest Thanksgiving ever!

The Best Paleo Brownies (Chocolaty Goodness) Have I got a treat for you today. Delicious, fudge-like brownies that are not even bad for you! No sugar, no flour involved. Almond butter is what makes these brownies perfectly dense and chewy. They melt in your mouth when eaten warm right out of the oven. P.S. I have experimented with several Paleo brownie mixes but this one tops the list by far. These brownies are better than any mix from a box, and they avoid a large heaping of sugar and flour.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders! It's been a pretty crazy week, and I can finally sit down, not be anywhere, and gather my thoughts. After our bi-monthly sushi dinner (featuring our self-invented BYOTea) this past Sunday, I was talking to my roommate Julie and we both knew it was going to be a hard week.

So we came up with the concept of Best Week Ever. It is our way of tackling the week and powering through with a positive attitude. We focus on appreciating all the good things that happen to us, and looking at the challenges that come in a better light. A couple of examples: fitting in an extra workout? BWE. Another thing that helped get me through the week? Energy Bars (Makes about 5 bars) Ingredients Directions In a bowl, mash the banana well with a fork or other handy utensil. That's it! New! Coconut Yogurt Chia Seed Pudding Parfaits - Blissful Basil. I’ve made a lot of chia pudding over the last few years, but this one is far and away my all-time favorite!

It’s luxuriously creamy, subtly sweet, and intensely satisfying. The trick? Using a combination of coconut yogurt + plant-based milk for the base as opposed to only plant-based milk. I’m telling you, once you go coconut yogurt chia seed pudding, you’ll never go back. You can make the chia pudding using store-bought coconut yogurt, but I strongly recommend using homemade coconut yogurt instead. Homemade coconut yogurt is surprisingly easy to make. All you’ll need? Again, you can use store-bought coconut yogurt, but for the most dreamy, life-changing chia seed pudding, I recommend making your own.

For the ultimate breakfast parfaits, that delightful coconut yogurt chia seed pudding is topped with a super simple, two-ingredient strawberry jam, fresh strawberries, pepitas, and coconut flakes. The best part? Coconut Yogurt Chia Seed Pudding Parfaits Prep time Total time Serves: 4 parfaits. Blueberry Bliss Breakfast Bars (No-Bake, Vegan, Gluten Free, Naturally Sweetened) Even under the least desirable conditions (rain, snow, sleet, ice, and let’s not forget those – 40 C wind chill temperatures), I always come back to thinking that walking my dog first thing in the morning is pretty much the best possible way to start the day. An ideal opportunity to welcome the new and rinse out the old before the chaos of the inevitable takes over and the monkey mind sets in.

And this time of year, well, it’s hard not to be in love with the outdoors. Everything is lush, fresh and inviting. Flashes of life and color on every corner. Even our cat is getting in on the action! Our frolicking feline will actually walk to the park with us (au naturel) and hang out while we throw balls with our dog. Then, unprompted, he makes the pilgrimage home, several blocks, turns and obstacles away. Here’s to your morning glory!

Something that will refuel your system and taste delicious but without all that artificial crap found in most convenience foods? Well I gots the perfect recipe for ya: No-Bake Paleo Chocolate Protein Bars.

Yum! A few weeks back at the Affiliate Allstars CrossFit competition, when we weren’t on the arena floor competing, we were on the floor (literally) foam rolling, stretching, and…eating. Such abnormally high levels of energy expenditure required lots and lots of refueling! I brought a batch of these Chocolate Protein Bars (well, they were squares, so more like protein ‘bites’), and they went down a treat with our athletes. In fact, I was tempted to make another batch for Day 2 of the comp and walk around with a plate, offering them to all the cute, buff, shirtless guys…(to promote my blog, of course) But to be honest, I was so exhausted after Day 1 all I could do when I got home was shower, eat more food, and drop into bed!

A Paleolithic-type diet may help obese postmenopausal women lose weight, improve their circulating fatty acid profile and lower their future risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, new research reports.
