Paleo Snack
So firstly exactly what is the paleo diet and even more importantly an amount be described as a good paleo snack. The paleo diet or as it's sometimes known "The Caveman Diet" is often a holistic way of eating that attempts to mimic how humans ate over 10,000 years ago throughout the 'paleolithic' period.
The plan promotes a nutrient 'dense rich' in meats, fruits, seafoods, eggs, berries, nuts, seeds and vegetables whilst simultaneously eliminating dairy, grains and legumes. Processed foods and foods supplemented with refined sugars, additives, preservatives and chemicals that you simply get in all modern-day foods.
