Paleo Snack Recipes: Delicious Snacks for your Night Time Cravings

Those who follow the Paleo diet, might end up in a dead end on the subject of snack foods recipes. Limited ingredients might make it difficult to think of recipes for snacks, particularly Paleo late night snacks.

We all have experienced the need for a snack late at night while you're watching television or on the computer. The question is: Just what should I eat? Though it may appear hard to figure out, it is quite simple to get a Paleo snack if we have some simple ingredients in the home.


Fruit and nut bars

On the list of best means to get a good Paleo snack is by eating fruit and nut bars. They're available in grocery store shelves and able to be eaten right away. Special Paleo packages will supply the necessary vitamins and minerals with no need to worry about cooking or getting the Paleo ingredients. Of course fruit and nut bars can even be prepared at home. Almonds, pecans, pistachios, macadamia nuts and honey are a few of the necessary ingredients for use in the preparation. Having pre-made treats available, is a good strategy to take care of your stomach late in the evening.

 Vegetables

Fully Paleo, vegetables may be enjoyed in large quantities and they are among the preferred food in the Paleo diet. Whether it be a carrot, lettuce or tomato, they can be enjoyed without being cooked; therefore they are a very good alternative to a Paleo snack which may require cooking, or elaborate preparation.

Fruit

Despite the fact that fruit really should be eaten in moderation while you're on a Paleo diet, a little snack does not do any harm. A banana, kiwi, grapes, pears, apples or strawberries could be eaten without the need for more ingredients. However, almond butter or honey could be added for more flavor.

Miscellaneous

There are many snacks that can be made by combining several ingredients like:

Fruit and nut salad: where the flavor of fruit is intensified by the taste of various varieties of nuts. Honey can always be added in as a natural sweetener.

Meat and fruit: stuffed dates where almonds, nut butter and bacon are all combined with dates turning this blend into a mix of flavors and healthy nutrients. Although this recipe has a preparation time of 20 to 25 minutes, it truly is worth every waiting minute. The stuffed dates could be prepared during the evening meal and stored for later.
 
Vegetable Mini Quiche: Eggs, meat and vegetables are the 3 main ingredients for the mini quiches. Easy to make and with a cooking time of 30 minutes, these mini quiches make great snacks that taste just as flavorful when they are cold. They could be made during lunch or dinner or even in the evening. Having them available in the kitchen means you will be Paleo snack ready.

There is an endless list of Paleo late night snacks available. Sometimes we just have to let our imagination wonder and combine various foods to make tasty, healthy and fully Paleo snack recipes. Like with other Paleo recipes, adding a new ingredient or replacing one using a different ingredient is the best solution to have a big selection of recipes.
