How about having some Paleo Nut-less Muffins today? A nice holiday treat, where you wont sacrifice healthy digestion, feeling energized or even your diet.
My ‘Paleo Nut-less Muffins’ recipe provides the best of both worlds…it satisfies a sweet tooth, while sticking to a diet (all ingredients are natural and the recipe is grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free & gluten-free). I don’t think anybody should ever have to sacrifice flavor to eat clean and stay lean.
I have discovered a new love, one for carrots. This great vegetable is rich in minerals, dietary fiber and antioxidants. Studies have shown that carrots lower the risk of cancer and cholesterol because of their beta-carotene component, which shields carcinogenic attacks. Carrots also provide the body with Vitamin A, which aids our vision greatly. Not only is this vegetable super tasty, available at any grocery store and easy to add to a bunch of different recipes (both cooking and baking ones), but its very inexpensive.
We all know that living the Paleo lifestyle can get a bit pricey, so finding and using inexpensive ingredients that we love is always a plus. This recipe I am sharing with you today is packed with lots of great ingredients for you. Eat these muffins warm and be sure to share them with your family/friends.
