Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
I am a firm believer that our bodies are built to detox, or cleanse, themselves. Every once in a while after a period of sickness or riotous food choices I do feel the need to give it a little help.
My thoughts on detoxing and cleansing and my detox smoothie recipe:
1/2 cup almond milk (or coconut milk or other milk product of choice)
insides of 2 fresh aloe vera stalks
handful of fresh parsley
handful of fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon spirulina powder (I use Nutrex Hawaii)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 scoop very clean protein powder (optional, but a good vanilla protein makes this very tasty)
This is very thick; if your blender isn't great you may need to add a little more almond milk to get this to blend well.
What's your view on cleanses and detoxes? Do them? Hate them?
