Lurong Paleo Challenge- Week 1

My crossfit box, Ardent Crossfit, finally talked me into participating in the Lurong Paleo Challenge. This has me tweaking my meal prepping as well as changing somethings from the last time I decided to eat paleo. This time around I am determined to make meal prepping less labor intensive and to keep everything as simple as possible.

This is what I have set for meals for Week 1:

Crossfit @ 0530 followed by a protein shake with a generous scoop of canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice,  and unsweetened almond milk.

Breakfast- Frittata 

Found the recipe for this at StupidEasyPaleo.com http://pinterest.com/pin/127648970663883439/ and it smells amazing! I cut it into 5 slices and packed them all in glass containers to toss in my cooler. I am pairing this with fresh black berries.

Lunch- Steak with Pico de Gallo and avocado

I made homemade paleo pico de gallo just to be sure I wasnt getting anything "extra" from buying it pre-made (recipe in photo). I found a recipe for paleo steak marinade that I used for a guide ( 5 grass fed sirloins, 2 tbsp EVOO, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, steak seasoning, juice from one lime) and tossed my steaks on the grill. I double checked that both EVOO and white wine vinegar were acceptable on the Lurong website, and they are in moderation. After letting the pico sit in the fridge, I divided it up over 5 days and prepped half an avocado.

Dinner- Shredded Chicken with cabbage, broccoli and carrot mix

My friend Tara suggested this easy, crock pot meal. I checked at the Lurong website to make sure this brand of buffalo sauce is acceptable for the challenge before I prepared it. I tossed 3 chicken breasts in the pot on low for 6 hours, shredding and mixing occasinally.

Then I prepped 5 baggies of cole slaw and rainbow salad mix. I did half and half of each to make sure I am getting a variety of veggies.

Snack- I have steamed up some eggs to eat if I have a hunger attack and I like mine with Tobasco which is approved through Lurong.

I preemptively bought some 100% unsweetned cocoa and froze some bananas incase I have an attack of the sweet-tooth as well as 3 bottles of Malbec.....because you can have 6 oz of red wine a day. Ill try not to take advantage of that :P
