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 didn't do food accountability posts for the weekend. I took pics Saturday, but never got them posted, then Sunday I went shopping with hubby and just didn't do anything. My food was good for the weekend though. So, here's yesterday's (Monday's).
Breakfast:
Breakfast:
2 cups coffee with Half and Half. 5 a Day smoothie, with lots of fresh spinach and strawberries (and whey protein, finally bought some, woo, I was going into withdrawals, although SuperTarget didn't have my Designer Whey, I know, gasp, so I bought some other brand, not sure I love.) recipe under my recipe tab.
Snack:
Peanut butter smoothie. With almond milk, whey protein, 1 tblsp peanut butter, ice.
Lunch:
Strawberry smoothie with almond milk, whey protein, and frozen strawberries, and an Ezekiel pita with 1 Tblsp Peanut Butter on top (yes, I was a bit smoothie obsessed yesterday, I blame it on too long without whey protein).
Snack:
Honey Almond Flax Kashi bar, yum.
Snack 2 (I am always hungrier on days I lift heavy, so I go with it):
Another Peanut Butter Smoothie with 1.5 Tblsp Peanut Butter this time, sorry it's sideways.
Dinner:
Turkey Taco Salad with Spinach because I was out of lettuce. It was really yummy.
Sort of a weird day. Lots of peanut butter, spinach, and smoothies. Yep, that's what I love! Calorie total was 1523. Although, I have this nagging feeling I forgot to track and take a pic of something. That's what I get for waiting until the day after to do the post, LOL. I am guessing my calories may have been more like 1700.
When the weather gets warm I like a smoothie for breakfast or a mini one for snack- but I like to chew on more stuff that you did this day. lol
