Mystery Box Challenge No.2

For this mystery box challange  we sent out coconut aminos something that is specific to helping out a Paleo lifestyle. When eating Paleo one of the food groups you want to avoid is legumes, due to their toxicity caused by lectins and anti-nutrients.

So having just finished chopping up a heap of vegetables.

Have your meat finely cut.

And just about to cook up the best paleo asian stir fry cuisine ever.

Don’t panic as you are about to heap on the soy sauce and realize, soy is a legume.

See Cave Girl and cooking with coconut aminos.

Mystery Box Challenge No.1 Update

So we sent out to cave girl, New Zealand’s own awesome Paleo food blogger a box of ingredients to see what she could do with them

The mystery box contained a number of products, but one of the more unusual ingredients is something called  mesquite powder. This can be used as a a sweetener and with a low GI and a number of nutritional benefits can be a good alternative for flavouring in baking and smoothies.

So over at  cavegirl.co.nz  take a look at what she put together, caramel slice but with a mesquite powder twist. 

Can kiwi food bloggers actually cook and bake good food without processed sugars and white flour?

Can they be imaginative in their use of new healthy ingredients in their meals or is it just Edmonds style meals with a boring change?

Deciding to show us how awesome kiwi food bloggers can be is Cave Girl, NZ’s very own Paleo Food Blogger.

To Test Out Cave Girls Culinary Skills We Have Sent Her A Mystery Box

A number of ingredients that are being used in the paleo, clean eating, gluten free movement.

Some of them you would have heard of and maybe all ready using yourself, others are more unusually and just beginning to gain popularity.

• Will she astound you with her creations?
