Paleo Friendly Grainless Blueberry Muffins

Paleo blueberry lemon zested muffins.

What is Paleo? It is said to be the diet of our long-ago ancestors, way long ago: in other words, the caveman (and woman). It is a diet focused on lean meats, seafood, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats. A paleo-friendly diet avoids dairy, grains, legumes, processed foods and sugars, and alcohol. While I don’t entirely agree that you must avoid all those items all the time – legumes are actually very good for you – there is much research to support the health benefits of a paleo diet and some people find that the diet works well for them.

For example, following the paleo diet can create a healthy balance of good fats in the body, in part because of the diet’s emphasis on eating fish, especially salmon, and lean proteins humanely raised without antibiotics and hormones. The paleo diet also restricts sugar, which can cause an imbalance of unhealthy bacteria in the gut, and thus improves gut health. For some people, the paleo diet can reduce inflammation by reducing the consumption of dairy and gluten, which are known to be allergens to many people.

There appear to be many sacrifices on the paleo diet, however. One food that many people really miss when eating a paleo-friendly diet is baked goods, like muffins and breads. But a few substitutions can be made so that even the die-hard paleo dieter has the ability to enjoy muffins for breakfast sometimes. Even if you aren’t following a paleo diet, food variety is healthy because it helps you eat foods with many different nutrients. Plus, these muffins are simple and delicious!
