Healing Smoothie Packs (AIP/Paleo) and the new AIP Freezer Cooking e-book!

One of the most crucial aspects to a real food healing diet is preparation.

I’m not going to lie, healing protocols are not easy, they are hard work and it takes dedication. You spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals because chances are you’re not going to find any packaged frozen meals or ready-made convenient foods at your local grocery store.

Although convenient meals are not likely readily available, there is a way to make things easier on yourself! Enter freezer cooking.

Freezer meals have truly helped me to stay compliant when time is limited, while travelling, or on those stressful days like when the kids are sick or when I just have too much school work that needs to be done.  And then there are those days when you just can’t handle cooking another meal, which ultimately results in a buttload of dirty dishes! Having meals already prepared and in the freezer is a FANTASTIC way to give yourself a well-deserved break.  

I am thrilled to finally be able to tell you all about the new AIP community cookbook:
