Paleo Diet for Lenten Season—Recipe Ideas to Try
Lent is coming up and Christians who are following the season of preparation before Easter will be observing a period of repentance, moderation, self-denial and fasting. Some will commit to give up something during the duration of Lent beginning on Ash Wednesday up to Easter Sunday. There are also some who will not eat meat on Fridays and replace it with fish instead. And because of that, following a Paleo diet for the week is most fitting.
According to Health Aim, the Paleo diet can be the best option for the Lenten season. It's also a great nutritional regimen beyond the season as it promotes healthy living by giving up grains, dairy, meat and processed foods. Paleo also enthuses a person to chiefly eat vegetable and fruits. For those who wants to leave the junk food life and begin healthy living, the Lenten season can be the starting point.
It's not going to be difficult as there are several Paleo recipe ideas available that one can make or cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As suggested in the site How We Flourish, some delicious recipe ideas for breakfast include Spinach and Kale Quiche, Spinach and Feta Frittata, Coconut Blueberry Oatmeal and Simple Sweet Pepper Frittata.
