Personally, I hate going to the gym. I’d much rather actually be outside in nature, in the fresh air, than stuck in a sterile gym, that could be anywhere in the world. Part of the reason I hate the gym is because of the other gym goers. Some of them are just so annoying. Well, […]
What to do when you've made more coconut milk than you can possibly use? Make coconut ice lollies of course! I already had some moulds for icy poles and some wooden sticks, so it couldn't have been easier. This would work great with coconut yoghurt too, next time you make a batch. These Coconut Icy […]
I’m lucky to have a fairly big freezer, and I can’t recommend it enough, for so many paleo reasons. Here's why a good size freezer could transform your paleo diet Once a week cooking I’m a huge fan of batch cooking – if you’re going to go to the effort of cooking dinner, why not […]

It's no secret that avocados are one of the best paleo foods you can get. Full of fat, the foundation of an amazing dessert recipe and with loads of alternative uses, you just can't beat an avocado. The frustrating thing is how expensive they are. They literally grown on trees, after all. Exactly how expensive? […]
