Description

Veggie packed mexican beef skillet that comes together in no time! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb ground beef, I used grass-fed
  • 8 oz white mushrooms, thinly sliced 
  • 1 large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise then sliced into half moon pieces
  • 1 green pepper, cut into slices
  • 1/2 small sweet onion, cut into slices
  • 1 cup salsa of your choice (I used a medium heat one)
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt + Pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat up a 12 inch pan on medium-high heat.  Once hot, add in a drizzle of avocado oil then add in the onion and green pepper.  Season with a nice sprinkle of Salt and Pepper and cook for 7-9 minutes tossing often. Remove from pan once cooked.
  2. Add in another drizzle of oil and throw in the ground beef and brown. Add in 1 tsp of salt and a nice sprinkle of pepper. Remove from pan once browned and remove the fat in the pan leaving about a tbsp in the pan.
  3. Add in the zucchini and mushrooms and season with a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Saute for 5-7 minutes. 
  4. Now add the beef, onion, and pepper back to the pan and give it a nice toss. Add in the salsa and mix up. Reduce heat to a simmer and let the flavors come together for a few minutes then enjoy!

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE PROTEIN SHAKE
[Save & Share]

INGREDIENTS:
 
* 8 oz almond milk 
* 2 tbsp peanut butter 
* 1 scoop protein powder 
* 1 tbsp hemp seeds 
* 1 tbsp cacao powder 
* double shot espresso 
* 2 chopped dates 
* 4–5 ice cubes	
* 5 frozen banana slices 
* 1/4 tsp vanilla extract	
* sprinkle of sea salt
* sprinkle of cinnamon

1. Add all ingredients into a high-powered blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring everything is well combined.

NOTES:

* Peanut Butter: I use Kirkland’s Peanut Butter, which is a sugar-free option.
* Paleo Option: Swap peanut butter for almond butter for a full paleo recipe.
* Sweetness: For a sweeter shake, add 1 tbsp of maple syrup to taste.
* Frozen Banana: Peel and slice the banana into pieces, then place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight. I love adding a few frozen pieces to my shakes for a creamy, thick texture and that perfect chill!

Iced Matcha Latte with Starbucks-Style Vanilla Cold Foam 🍵

If you know me, you know I’m a huge matcha addict. So, after perfecting my go-to iced matcha latte, I had to finally share the recipe. This one’s been my daily fix for a while now, and the vanilla cold foam takes it to another level. I use mostly almond milk and a little bit of cream to make it not as heavy.

Full recipe is up on paleoish.com—but here’s what you need:

Ingredients:
	•	1g (1 tsp) ceremonial-grade matcha
	•	1/4 cup hot water (175-180°F)
	•	1/2 cup almond milk
	•	3 tbsp heavy cream
	•	1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
	•	1/4 tsp vanilla extract
