Listen to Paleo: Best Podcasts & Audiobooks
I used to read books all the time. But for the last couple of years I've been listening to books instead.
Download Free Paleo Ebooks
This close to Christmas can only mean one thing – time to treat yourself to something. These ebooks are all currently free on Amazon at the time of publishing – so get in quick before the prices go back up.
If you don't have a Kindle, you can download the free Kindle app to read for free on any device.
Why Free Paleo Ebooks Are a Hidden Gem
In the sea of nutrition information online, Paleo books still hold a unique place. Especially when they’re offered for free. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into ancestral health or looking to refresh your motivation, free ebooks are a brilliant, low-risk way to expand your knowledge and stay inspired.
This time of year – with the holidays approaching – is a perfect moment to treat yourself. And what better gift than something that might truly change your approach to food, health, and wellbeing?
What Makes a Good Paleo Ebook?
With so many free options floating around, how do you separate the wheat (well, metaphorically speaking – we don’t eat that) from the chaff? Here are a few things to look for:
- Real food focus: Avoid books that lean too heavily on “Paleo” treats or overly processed ingredients. Stick with those that promote meat, vegetables, natural fats, and minimal sweeteners.
- Credible authorship: Look for authors with a background in nutrition, functional medicine, anthropology, or real-world Paleo experience.
- Practical application: Great books help you do something – whether it’s learning how to transition your pantry, batch cook meals, or fine-tune your macronutrients.
How to Read Kindle Books Without a Kindle
Don’t have a Kindle? No worries! Amazon has free Kindle reader apps for:
- iPhone and iPad
- Android devices
- Mac
- PC
Simply download the app, log in with your Amazon account, and your ebooks will sync automatically.
Some of Our Favourite Free Paleo Finds (So Far)
Note: These may no longer be free depending on when you read this – but they’re worth checking out even if the price has gone up slightly.
1. “Paleo for Beginners” by John Chatham
This one’s been in and out of the free category for years. It’s a great intro guide and still one of the most highly downloaded Paleo books on Amazon.
2. “The Paleo Slow Cooker” by Rockridge Press
Perfect for anyone looking to meal prep or make weeknight cooking easier without compromising on nutrition.
3. “Paleo Sweets” by Kelsey Ale
If you're trying to kick sugar cravings but still want a treat now and then, this is a great place to start. Focuses on clean ingredients and doesn’t go overboard with the honey or dates.
4. “Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans (Sampler)” by Michelle Tam
While the full book is a paid bestseller, the free sampler gives you a taste of Michelle Tam’s legendary recipes and gorgeous photography.
5. “Quick and Easy Paleo Recipes” by Linda Larsen
Simple, everyday recipes using accessible Australian ingredients – great for busy families or new cooks.
Make the Most of Your Paleo Ebook Library
If you're downloading a bunch of ebooks at once, consider:
- Creating collections in your Kindle app: Organise books by “Meal Prep,” “Beginner,” “Treats,” or even “Science.”
- Highlighting key passages: Use the Kindle app to mark your favourite ideas, techniques, or inspiration to revisit later.
- Trying one new recipe or concept each week: It’s easy to get overwhelmed. Keep it manageable and actionable.
Want a Recommendation Just for You?
If you’re stuck in a Paleo rut or looking to troubleshoot a health issue, free ebooks can be a brilliant starting point. But if you’re not sure where to begin – shoot me a message on the Facebook page or drop a comment below. I’d love to help you pick the right ebook for your goals.
Keeping It Fresh: Don’t Just Collect – Read!
Let’s be honest – free ebooks are addictive. But instead of letting them sit unread, try this challenge: read one chapter a day for a week and take one action based on what you’ve learned. It could be as simple as clearing out your pantry, trying a new veggie, or making bone broth for the first time.
What Paleo Book Changed Your Life?
Was it The Paleo Solution, It Starts With Food, The Primal Blueprint – or something more niche? I'd love to hear what books made an impact on you and why. Let’s build a collective Paleo library of tried-and-tested favourites in the comments.
In Summary…
Free Paleo ebooks are more than just a festive bonus – they’re a gateway to long-lasting health changes. With just a few clicks and a free app, you can stock your digital shelves with inspiration, knowledge, and delicious recipes that support your goals.
So go ahead – treat yourself. Then let me know which one you loved the most.
Why Holidays Are the Perfect Time to Reboot Your Paleo Mindset
Between festive meals, travel, and schedule disruptions, the end of the year can derail even the most committed Paleo follower. That’s why free ebooks are such a timely gift. They’re not just recipe collections — they can serve as a mindset refresh when motivation dips. Whether it's a short guide on emotional eating, a slow-cooker meal plan, or a science-based breakdown of ancestral health, there's something empowering about reading a few pages and reconnecting with why you started this journey in the first place.
Instead of waiting for the classic “New Year, New Me” reset, downloading a few Paleo books now can give you the mental edge to finish the year strong — or at least more consciously. It’s not about perfection. It’s about making choices from a place of understanding, not overwhelm.
Where to Find More Free Paleo Ebooks Beyond Amazon
Amazon may be the most well-known source, but it’s not the only one. Here are a few extra spots you might want to explore:
- Author newsletters: Many Paleo bloggers and cookbook authors offer free ebooks or recipe samplers as part of their email sign-up incentives. A quick visit to your favourite blog might surprise you.
- Paleo Facebook groups: Members often share links to limited-time free promotions, especially around holidays or new releases.
- Online course platforms: Sites like Udemy or Teachable sometimes bundle free ebooks with health courses. Even if you're not interested in the course itself, you might score a great download.
- Project Gutenberg & Open Library: While these focus more on historical texts, you might find older public domain nutrition books with interesting insights into ancestral diets.
Convert Your Kindle Ebooks Into Print-Friendly Formats (If You Must!)
If you're like me and prefer a physical book in the kitchen, you might want to print out a few favourite recipes or meal plans. There are tools like Send to Kindle browser extensions or Calibre (a free ebook manager) that allow you to export or format your downloaded books for your own personal use. Just be mindful of copyright — stick to personal use only.
Or keep it simple: screenshot your favourite recipe page, email it to yourself, and print it from there. Perfect for taping inside your pantry or popping into your meal planning binder.
Building Your Own Paleo Reading Challenge
If your digital shelf is overflowing and you don’t know where to start, why not create your own reading challenge? Here’s a simple structure to try:
- Week 1: Read a foundational Paleo or ancestral health book to reconnect with the core principles.
- Week 2: Choose a practical meal prep or cooking book and try three new recipes.
- Week 3: Pick something focused on mindset, sleep, or stress and take one new action per day.
- Week 4: Revisit a classic favourite you haven’t opened in a while, and reflect on how far you’ve come.
You could even do this with a friend, or set up a virtual book club in your favourite Paleo community. Accountability always helps — and sharing ideas or meals based on what you’re reading makes the experience richer.
Don't Forget to Leave a Review
One of the best ways to support the Paleo authors giving away their books is to leave a review — even a short one. Honest feedback helps boost visibility for books aligned with real food principles and can encourage others to give them a try. Reviews don’t need to be long; a few sentences about what you found useful or inspiring is enough.
Plus, if a book made a difference for you, a quick review is the best thank-you you can give the author. Most are small publishers or solo entrepreneurs — your support goes a long way.
Quick Paleo Ebook Tips for Busy Weeks
Let’s be real — you may not have time to read 300 pages on nutrition in one sitting. But you do have time to make small tweaks using quick wins from ebooks:
- Find a 3-ingredient breakfast and prep it for the week
- Copy a 5-minute dressing recipe into your notes app for instant salad upgrades
- Bookmark a one-pan dinner and commit to making it midweek
- Use a single food list to audit your pantry and do a mini clean-out
Even one change a week from a free ebook can add up quickly. It doesn’t need to be all-or-nothing to be effective.
Your Next Favourite Might Be Free Right Now
With Kindle promotions changing daily, it’s worth checking back regularly — especially around public holidays, Black Friday, and New Year when health-related books often go free for a limited time. If you're in Australia, remember that regional availability sometimes varies — but most titles can be accessed with an international Amazon account or a quick switch of your Kindle store settings.

What’s Inside the Paleo Lunch Recipe Book
My Paleo Lunch Recipe Book is now on sale!
With a typical SAD lunch revolving around sandwiches and pasta, a Paleo lunch requires a bit more thought – and is far more rewarding than a refined-carb-heavy sandwich!
I know what it's like to be busy and in need of good Paleo lunch options. I've put this recipe book together, with lots of recipes that can be prepared in advance, to make lunchtimes that bit easier. The book contains recipes for lunches you can make at home and take into work – as well as recipes for lunches when you have a bit more time on your hands.
The book has 92 pages and includes:
- Soups
- Salads
- Paleo “sandwiches”/ wraps/ burger recipes
- Lunches to prepare in advance
- Sauces & dips
- Paleo “noodles”
- and much more!
The recipes contain lots of varied ingredients (that are easy to source), including chicken, beef, fish, seafood, beef, turkey, ham and bacon. There are also some meat -free vegetarian recipes – as well as some featuring fermented foods and offal!
Here are some of the beautiful photos from the book:
At the moment the book is available as an ebook – but the print version is getting closer! As with all of my books, it's available for instant download and comes with a 30 day guarantee. You can pay securely using credit card, debit card or paypal. If you'd like a copy – you can buy it here.
I've created this recipe book for people of any country (being from overseas myself, I know how annoying it is when a recipe book is only in metric or imperial measurements!)
The book is $17, but I offer big discounts if you buy more than one of my recipe books in one transaction – you can find the bulk prices here.
Inside the Paleo Dinner Recipe Book
I've had a lot of request from people who've bought my recipes books, for a book on Paleo Dinner Recipes – and I'm pleased to announce – here it is!

There’s something for everyone, with chapters based around your favourite meats:

I've also include offal and vegetarian recipes, as well as two chapters covering side dishes and sauces, to transform your dinners! There’s a good balance of quick dinners and dinners to impress with.
As someone who’s lived in metric and imperial countries, I know how annoying it is to read recipes that are only in grams, or only in ounces – so you’ll be pleased to find that all of my recipes will make sense wherever you live!
Currently the book is available as an ebook, so you can download it instantly. It comes with a 30 day guarantee and can be purchased here for $17 by credit card, debit card or paypal.

There's a snack recipe for every taste and situation! By popular demand I've also include a chapter on grab and go Paleo snack recipes.

Inside the Paleo Vegetarian and Vegan Recipe Book | What’s Included & Benefits
I’m thrilled to announce my new Vegetarian and Vegan Paleo Recipe ebook has just been launched!
With almost 40% of those following a Paleo diet having at one stage been either Vegan or Vegetarian, there seems to be a real lack of information in this area – something I want to change.
Many Paleo sources seem very definitive in saying that you cannot be both Paleo and Vegan or Vegetarian – but I think there is middle ground. Whilst eating animal products seems to be optimal, I think by cutting out grains and legumes you can make significant health improvements.
Vegetarians and Vegans tend to rely heavily on grains for calories and legumes for protein, so one of the key aims in the recipe book has been putting together recipes with a good, Paleo, protein source. Eggs are obviously a great protein source, but not on the menu for Vegans, so I’ve not lent too heavily on eggs in this book.
I’ve also noticed how difficult it is for people who decide to start eating meat, having been a Vegetarian or Vegan for some time. I devote a chapter in this book to transitioning to eating meat – as this is not an easy step to take. When starting to eat a Paleo diet, having relied heavily on grains and legumes, it can be difficult. I’ve therefore added in a chapter on properly preparing grains and legumes. Whilst not Paleo, traditionally prepared grains are far safer, and can make the move away from grains far easier than going cold turkey.
The book features a balance between quick and simple recipes and more substantial Paleo Vegan recipes. With soups, salads, bakes gratins, side dishes, main courses and snacks – I’ve tried to make sure there is something for everyone.
Currently only available in ebook format (watch this space for the print version, later in the year), this book has over 100 pages of beautifully photographed recipes. Recipes are Paleo and Vegetarian – with over three quarters being Vegan and Paleo (i.e. no animal products such as eggs and dairy, as well as no meat).
I’d love to hear your feedback on this book and if you’ve followed a Vegan or Vegetarian diet, how your journey has been.
You can buy the Vegetarian and Vegan Paleo Recipe ebook here for $17.

Inside the Paleo Breakfast Recipe Book
After months in the kitchen, I've finally finished my first recipe book all about Paleo Breakfast Recipes. I'm thrilled with the result, an ebook of well over 100 pages of Paleo breakfast recipes to suit every situation and taste, with beautiful photos to tempt you into the kitchen.
I know how hard it is to find time to make a good breakfast, so there is a chapter on grab and go breakfasts, quick (but still delicious) breakfast recipes and also drinkable Paleo breakfast recipes.
I've also included chapters covering alternatives to your former favourite SAD breakfasts, child friendly breakfasts, lots of egg free recipes, meat-free recipes (a lot of people can’t face meat for breakfast) as well as fancy breakfast recipes, for when you have a bit more time and want to impress.
Recipes are easy to follow and clearly laid out, with both imperial and metric measurements. If you buy this book in conjunction with one of my other ebooks, I offer big discounts.
I thought I’d share one of the breakfast recipes from the book here…
If you’re interested in the book, you can buy it now!

Breakfast Mushroom Saucers
Ingredients:
• 4 large portobello mushrooms
• 4 rashers bacon
• coconut oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 200g (7oz) spinach
• 75g (2.5oz) grated cheese (optional, if primal or lacto-paleo)
• 30g (2 tablespoons) pine nut kernels
• fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 avocado
How To:
Wash the mushrooms and set aside the stalks to use in another dish.
Cut the bacon to match the size of the mushrooms, and fry in the coconut oil in a pan over a medium heat, until your desired level of crispness has been reached.
Coat the mushrooms in the leftover bacon fat (or more coconut oil) & season with salt & pepper, to taste.
Grill the mushrooms for a few minutes, under a medium heat, making sure they don't burn.
Meanwhile, steam the spinach in a saucepan for a couple of minutes.
Top each mushroom with the bacon, then spinach. If using cheese, top with grated cheese and grill until the cheese melts. Top with pine kernels and chopped parsley.
Serve with sliced avocado and enjoy.
