Paleo Shopping List
It’s tough starting a Paleo diet, and it’s even tougher if you don’t have the right stuff in your pantry!
So, this is our comprehensive list of Paleo ingredients to have handy. Of course, you most definitely don’t need all of them, and you can pick and choose what you’d like. You can also make some of the ingredients yourself (e.g., tomato paste, chicken broth, or almond flour) but it can be time-consuming.
