There are absolutely tons of ways to make salsa and they perfectly complement fish and chicken. When you add the fiber-rich salsa to your meat, you can cut out the grains so you have a filling paleo meal. Try avocado and mango salsa on tilapia or spicy tomato and jalapeno salsa on grilled chicken breast. Yum!

If you are truly eating paleo, you aren’t eating much bread. That’s because our caveman ancestors didn’t eat all that many grains. If you love a sandwich and don’t feel like life is worthwhile without one, it’s time to get creative. My favorite idea is to sandwich fresh guacamole between two half strips of crispy bacon for a snack, but you can also sub out the bread for crisp lettuce leaves or homemade cauliflower bread. See – you won’t be deprived at all!

If you rely on muffins or waffles for breakfast, you aren’t eating paleo. Those things have to go. You can still have a filling and delicious morning meal though, and you should for good health. Try making mini egg muffins by baking scrambled eggs filled with diced veggies and simply warming one or two of them up in the morning. Add some fresh fruit and you have a paleo meal fit for a queen.

Obviously the paleo diet doesn’t include many tortillas, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy all of your south-of-the-border favorites. Simply pile everything but the tortilla into a big bowl and chow down. Try pinto beans, shredded beef, salsa, lettuce, tomato and avocado. Tasty!
