    This was a delightfully, amazing find! I have deeply loved falling into the endless blue of healthy eating going paleo and this cookbook is a great resource for anyone looking to get in on easy new recipes as well as some hard, deeper, but deeply rewarding ones as well.Great recipes and amazing pictures! I would love to have everything paleo they make!

    A little disappointed. Too easy and predicable. A little imagination and interesting combination or spicing combo would have made a difference.

    Delicious, worthwhile recipes! So many Paleo cookbooks require a lot of prep or obscure ingredients. This commonsense book makes it easy to create delicious snacks. Highly recommend.

    Have mixed feelings about this cookbook. Had hoped for more common (lessexotic) snacks, such as a great granola recipe. At the same time, trying new foods can be great fun. A cookbook without photos is disappointing; we eat with our eyes as well, after all. However, each recipe includes a nutritional breakdown, albeit an edited one (doesn't break out the fats or fiber count), which is helpful. Most paleos don't tend to worry about this, but I like to keep a watchful eye on the nutritional values. The quick substitutes chart is extremely helpful. If you're looking for new ideas, this book should prove handy; if you're new and looking for a smoother transition, you may be disappointed. Thanks Librarything.com for the opportunity to reviewI would like to go for a 3.5 - but since that's not feasible in the star ratings......

    Wonderful cookbook for my new eating lifestyle. While I don't hold to "Paleo" their cookbooks help me with creative and easy meals. I have many food intolerance and this book is filled with things I can happily eat!

    I do not practice the paleo diet but I am always interested in new recipes, especially ones that might get my kids to eat more protein and less carbs. I thought the snacks included in the book were appealing and were fairly easy to make. They weren't overly creative or unique but the book does provide good basic snacks that would appeal to a lot of people. I really missed the pictures, I assume the finished copy will have pictures which I think are essential to any cookbook. Overall a good cookbook. I received a free copy of this book through the early reviewers program.

    I reviewed this for Early Book Reviewers. I love to look at new cookbooks. My body is much healthier with a high protein diet and I don't get honey so I found this book helpful. It provides a good source for high protein recipes.

    I received an early copy of this book from LibraryThing. My daughter follows the Paleo diet, and I always struggle to come up with things to serve when she comes over. This book is chockful of wonderful snack ideas. I have tried several, and she loved them all. Highly recommended for those following a Paleo diet - or those with a loved one who does!

    Well I'll come clean right away and tell you that this the first ebook I've ever read. It's an interesting format, and seems particularly well suited to a cookbook. I'll also confess that I haven't drove into the Paleo Diet completely. It's one of those dietary disciplines that can take time to warm up to. Snacks are an excellent way to incorporate a new or different diet into ones life. Easy Paleo Snacks Cookbook recipes have simple ingredients that are generally available and if they aren't where you live, there is a list of simple substitutes. I liked the snacks that are a clever combination of vegetables and proteins, seasoned and easy to prepare like Crab and Cuks and Olive you Dip. I found that there were a lot of recipes that tried to be a substitute for traditional foods like Meatza Pizza. The protein drinks and bars are easy and good- No-Bake Bars are yummy.

    The book is an OK list of recipes. I do think that cook books could benefit from more pictures. The ebook looked bad on my epub reader (which is small) and in many places was unreadable on the ebook reader. It looks fine on the computer in ADE tho. There are only a few recipes that I am even slightly interested in making.

    As someone who is new to the Paleo way of eating, I found this book to be very user friendly and easy to navigate. We have tried a few of the recipes and I have not been disappointed yet!

    I love this book. It's different than some of your other paleo snack books because it uses more variety of ingredients and doesn't rely on dates in every recipe. I like that they use nut flours and whey protein powders also.I give this book 5 stars!

    I won this book as an earlier reviewer on Librarything.com. I highly recommend "Easy Paleo Snacks Cookbook," published by Rockridge Press (Callisto Media). I have eaten a Paleo diet which has been the most helpful thing for dealing with my Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I have tried all the available "treatments" for MS and have found many benefits to eating this way. This book has easy, tasty and mouth watering options with variety. My son and I are looking forward to eating all of these choices. Thank you for picking me for review. I did not know it was an ebook and was waiting for it to come to my house.

Easy Paleo Snacks Cookbook - Rockridge Press

Dark

You get it: The paleo lifestyle makes sense to you. You’ve done the research, read the library books, signed up for fitness and nutrition blogs, listened to a few podcasts, and even mentioned the diet to your primary care physician. You are sold on paleo. After all, how many fad diets date back thousands of years?

Since you’ve made the decision to follow this lifestyle, you’ve lost a few pounds, lowered your blood pressure, and even stabilized your blood sugar numbers. You have more energy and seem to sleep better at night.

Even better, you’ve also learned an amazing amount of new information.

You’ve discovered that coconuts do much more than look exotic in the grocery store. They can be turned into delicious drinks, sauces, and desserts. And you know that coconut oil can be used in cooking, not just in shampoo and tanning lotion.

You found out that garlic and onion powder aren’t the only spices out there. You’ve cleared an entire section of your cupboard to make room for more spices, including the exotic garam masala and the spendy saffron, perhaps.

You’ve learned that dark chocolate is a vague term, but in your new lifestyle, it means at least 70 percent. You’re smug when you can enjoy a piece of 90 percent and chuckle at those days when you thought 54 percent was dark!

You’ve learned to love vegetables you’d never even heard of before, and the produce manager knows you by your first name. You could give a 30-minute lecture on the culinary possibilities for sweet potatoes.

Sure, your grocery bills have gone up—buying the real food is definitely more expensive than the boxes and cans. However, the expenses from eating out have virtually disappeared. If you live in a large city, asking for paleo food in a restaurant may result in a few helpful suggestions. If you don’t, you’re probably going to have to listen to a joke about living like a caveman, and politely explain that, no, you don’t usually hunt for your dinner with a spear or a large rock.

So there’s only one problem: You’ve got meals covered, but what about snacks? You know, snacks—the food you want between your nutritious and tasty meals. The treats your kids want when they come home from school or bring a friend over. The nibbles you crave late at night when the house is quiet. The platters you want to serve when the gang comes over to watch the game.

Snacks. The fourth meal.

On the paleo diet, it can seem impossible to find snacks to replace old favorites, but it doesn’t have to be that way. This cookbook is here to rescue you from those weak moments when you hear potato chips or brownies calling your name. It has every kind of snack you could want—sweet and salty, small and large—and all quick, healthy, easy, and delicious! Each chapter starts with an extremely easy recipe, one that usually requires little to no cooking or any special ingredients. Nutritional breakdowns are provided so you can keep track of the calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium, and sugar in each dish.

A note about ingredients: Just like snowflakes—or vegetarians—no two paleo dieters are exactly alike. Some people allow dairy, bacon, fermented foods (vinegar, sauerkraut), or honey or other natural sweeteners; some don’t. This cookbook attempts to keep each one of you in mind and presents a variety of recipes from which to choose.

These snacks are your missing link in the paleo diet. Enjoy!

QUICK SUBSTITUTES AND ONLINE RETAILERS

Some of the paleo snacks in this book call for unusual or out-of-the-way ingredients. Adding just a few of these ingredients to your pantry can expand your repertoire and help you stick to the paleo diet, but there is no need to purchase all of these ingredients.

Almost every unusual ingredient has a substitute that may be more familiar. Before preparing a recipe with an unfamiliar ingredient, check the following chart and see if there is a quick substitute.

Most of these ingredients are available at natural foods co-op stores or larger natural retailers such as Whole Foods, but you can also purchase them online through specialty retailers.

SMOOTH SIPPING

Sometimes being able to drink a meal is exactly what we need. Maybe we’re in a hurry, maybe we don’t feel like preparing a complete meal, or maybe we’re just out of clean silverware. In this case, smoothies, often referred to as shakes, can be the perfect choice. They are fast and simple—you’ll see that the directions are almost identical for each recipe—and easy to tailor to your preferences.

Most of these recipes are for one or two people because making smoothies for more takes mega-size blenders that most of us don’t have. Just plan to make and repeat for more servings—or be generous and share yours!
