Paleo chocolate smoothie
Paleo chocolate smoothie
This makes a fantastic paleo breakfast meal on the go! What I have learned in my Palo adventure is that there isn't much variation in breakfast foods. You got the incredible edible egg. But there is only so many ways to eat an egg and most of them don't travel well. So smoothies are a great alternative for those days your running late. I'm always running late.... I like sleep a lot.Here we go with the recipe:
2 bananas
2 TBSP of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 TBSP honey (probably local raw honey)
1-2cups of unsweetened almond milk
*Dash of cinnamon*
Here comes the easy part. Put it all in a blender and BLEND.
If you want to decorate with a chocolate syrup with a Palo alternative just mix some cocoa powder with small amounts of water until its a syrupy state and drizzle over the top.

My story
Welcome to Paleo in the city!
My name is Heather and I eat paleo. WHEW! not that's off my chest we can move on. LOL.
I had been on the heavy side my whole life everyone in my family was over 200lbs. I had seen a doctor about issues about my weight before I just could never lose weight and keep it off. She ran thyroid tests and PCOS. I was thankful she was taking me and my weight problems seriously. I was terrified it was PCOS. I want kids and if I couldn't I would be devastated. The test came back negative and I breathed a sigh of relief. Thyroid test came back low but not enough to treat with meds. The doctors suggestion was to join a gym eat right and really commit. So I did just that. I kept a food journal, calculated calorie intake, went to the gym 5 days a week for 1-4hours. Took great classes. Had fun with cardio and yoga. I gained 15lbs Of muscle lost 10lbs fat. Felt deprived, hungry and like an 80 year old lady. I gave up. Though 'hey, if working hard isn't going to work why not eat that hamburger'.
I was turned 29 a few weeks ago and I was still heavy. To top it off I felt like poop too. I needed a change. I thought to when I felt my best. When I was living at my mothers house eating paleo with her boyfriend. That day is when I started my paleo journey. I spent days looking further in to the lifestyle. I knew I hate the word diet. It means restriction, failure, depression. Lifestyle mean living in a sustainable way. Treat your body well, feed it real food and it will treat you well back. LOVE IT!! I started slooooooooow eliminate what I could control bread. I never denied it to myself just thought 'how will I feel if I eat that?' I now don't even want it. Same with cheese and dairy products. Sugar oh Mylanta I loved my soda and darn look at all the artificial stuff in the so called healthy alternatives. Oh my. Each journey starts with that first step.
So I started this blog to continue to keep on the path. To stay strong as I push forward. And you get to watch.
