Summer time treats are either high in sugar or high in empty calories. My favorite treat is frozen bananas which mimic great ice cream and are full of fat free goodness plus potassium. And did you know that our bodies retain extra fluid in the hot summer months and potassium helps to flush out excess fluids and toxins. Little powerhouse bites!
INGREDIENTS: 3 - 4 Small Bananas cut into 1" bites 6 oz Dark Chocolate chopped 1/2 tsp Coconut Oil 5-6g of Unflavored Collagen Peptides Protein (usually 1/2 scoop) Sea Salt Flakes Toothpicks or small skewer sticks OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: 1/2 C Chopped Nuts 1/2 C Chopped Unsweetened Coconut 1/2 C Chopped Dried Fruit DIRECTIONS: 1. Place cut bananas onto a parchment lined cookie sheet FREEZE for 1 hour. 2. Using a small saucepan, bring water to a soft boil and place a metal bowl over to create a double boiler. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over the double boiler till just melted, then stir in Collagen. Do not over cook otherwise your chocolate will seize up. Remove from heat. 3.- Remove frozen banana bites, insert a toothpick or skewer stick and dip in the melted chocolate/coconut oil. Place back on the parchment paper. Sprinkle the top of the banana with a few grains of sea salt. Then roll in your favorite topping. Be creative. Chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut are perfect but did you know that chopped dried fruit like acai berries, strawberries or goji berries will add nutrient dense flavor? 4. Place back in freezer covered till ready to eat!

This is surprisingly an easy to make, "goes a long way" carb free option.
1 lb Hamburger Cabbage or cabbage mix Onion Bacon Seasoning I'm being vague with this because you can add in how ever much to your taste and add whatever seasonings you like. I'll give you the guidelines but take it from there and make it yours. Dice the onion and bacon and add to medium hot pan. Stir fry till bacon is cooked. Don't get rid of that glorious bacon grease because it'll be soaked into the cabbage when added. Then add the hamburger and stir. Season with anything that you would normally season your beef. I like Mrs. Dash garlic & herb, salt, and some more garlic. Sometimes I'm wild and do Mrs. Dash lime mexican blend or even add in some Siracha. But make it your own. Cook until the meat is about done, then add in your cabbage. Cover and let cook on a little lower heat till the cabbage is done. Enjoy. 4/20/2013 0 Comments BARBACOA BEEF - Crock pot paleoBarbacoa Beef - By Juli at Paleomg!

Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. ![]() by CAROL at ditchthewheat -Dairy Free, Gluten Free, & Low Carb The unique feature of this recipe is that it is sweetened by nature. The banana was the only source of sweetness. Amazingly, this was a first for me! I was making up this recipe and I had Xylitol in front of me ready to be mixed in the bowl but then I held back. I thought maybe if I use more banana it will be fine. The added benefit (beside more nutrients) was that it bulked up the recipe from 2-3 waffles to 8 waffles. I used a whole medium banana which equals 23.85 net carbs according to fatsecret.com. Remember that is divided by 8 waffles. The banana only adds 2.98 net carbs each. The flax seed is 0 net carbs. To me the Banana Waffle tastes like a light fluffy banana muffin. I love it! Banana Waffles Recipe: *Makes 8 waffles. 1/8th of a banana per waffle. · 2 eggs · 1 mashed medium sized banana · ¼ full fat coconut milk · ¼ cup of ground flax seed · 2 tsp of baking powder Instructions: 1. In a bowl whisk the eggs. 2. Add the mashed banana, and coconut milk and mix. 3. Add the flax seed and baking powder and mix. 4. Let sit for a few minutes. 5. Pour the batter into the waffle maker. 6. The waffle maker should tell you when it is done. If not it takes a few minutes to cook. 7. Eat! Serve with your choice of syrup. I used natural peanut butter.

Makes breakfast for two. Approximate cooking time: 10 minutes MODIFICATIONS: If you can't eat egg yolks like me, I'll use egg whites only or do about 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg to get that taste of the yolk. I've heard that many people with Chicken Egg allergy are able to eat duck eggs as they have different proteins. Worth a try. No salsa? How about some diced fresh tomatoes, onions & cilantro. And any type of salsa will work..I like Green Verda Salsa the best with addition of tomatoes! 12/1/2011 1 Comment Savory Bean & Spinach Soup![]() Savory Bean and Spinach Soup Makes: 6 servings Ingredients 3 14-ounce cans vegetable broth 1 15-ounce can tomato puree 1 15-ounce can small white beans or Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup uncooked brown rice 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 garlic cloves, chopped 8 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach or kale leaves Finely shredded Parmesan cheese Directions 1.
