Recipe : Paleolithic Muffins
Our friend Ravenna Fahey brought us some KILLER gluten free, low sugar, high energy banana muffins based on the Paleolithic diet, which apparently mimics our ancestors’ diet, going low on the carbs, high on veggies, fruits and some lean animal protein.
Here’s the recipe…She was kind enough to share with us!
