Quick Meals

One of the things that stresses a lot of people out when they first go Paleo is the supposed lack of convenient meals. Whilst I don't really beleive this to be true, if you are having trouble finding things to eat then the key is preparation.

One of the things that I like to do is cook a meal for tea and then eat the leftovers for breakfast or lunch. The following meal is a great one to whip up in a hurry and then eat again the next day.

500g grass fed beef mince (I have spoken to my local Butcher and he assured me his meat is 100% grass fed!)
1 packet of coleslaw mix (Coles Brand - red and green cabbage, carrot)
1 smal tin coconut milk m- full fat variety, no additives.
Spices - choose your own. I used Garam masala, celtic sea salt, pepper, garlic granules, onion powder, chilli

Simply brown the mince with the spices, throw in the coleslaw mix and coconut milk and then let it cook down for 5 mins or so. Job done.

There is an easy meal in under 10 mins. Eat half for tea and then the rest for lunch or breakfast.
