Going dairy free is a great way to reduce inflammation in the body. You don’t have to be lactose intolerant to discover that you may feel better when you don’t consume dairy. Luckily, there are plenty of clean, healthy ways to prepare foods with creamy textures without using dairy at all. Need proof? Try this Paleo Cream of Celery Soup, which uses cauliflower and coconut in place of dairy cream. It’s also gluten free.
You don’t need dairy to make tasty sweet treats, either! You can make Healthier Homemade Peanut Butter Cups, and I promise you won’t miss the milk at all!
I’ve been grilling all sorts of delicious things this summer (especially fruit inspired skewers) and there’s something amazingly primal about sitting outside, eating fruit caramelized on open fire.

And while grilled pineapple …
The condiment to end all condiments, this creamy avocado cilantro sauce is good on everything, and is made in 3 minutes with a blender. Everyone knows the struggle of finding a perfectly ripe avocado. Eat them too soon and they are hard as rock and devoid of flavor. Eat them too late and they are lack-luster …
Per the food emotion breakdown, I started to listen to my body and accelerated the plan to include more nutrients. I added quite a few things in week 4 at a faster pace than I would have liked, but it was important to get the extra nutrients in those foods and regain my sanity. I …
The bad reaction and the thought of fewer foods made today one of the hardest yet of the cleanse. I’m a little over two weeks in and I found myself wanting everyone else’s food all day, and second guessing this plan. It started with not wanting anything for breakfast. Then grew throughout the day. Is …
I used to think pickling required hours of prep and labor, intense brine that I could never make, and most likely help from someone on a farm or from Germany. Turns out, it’s easier then throwing things in the freezer. It’s amazing! As someone who travels for work a lot, I’m often in the …
