    Honestly- I only wanted to know if the dang bread was good.

    Thought MFP was suppose to be a community of uplifting, encouraging people.

    Paleo bread isn't that an oxymoron?
    So call it something else.

    If she likes it, and it fits her goals, who cares?
    Well actually a lot of people do. Labels mean a lot. If you promote something as Paleo it goes along with the flawed concept of Paleo. You tell everyone it's the caveman diet then you back peddle just so you can include certain other things within the diet. (which what the Paleo industry and supporters have started to do)

    Paleo bread is just another example of why the Paleo concept is so flawed. Eat what you want I have no problem with that but please stop trying to pretend it's something it's not

    Yep. Call it what it is, not what it's not.

    Actually, I only wanted comments on the taste. Which no one has even really mentioned. Funny how everyone just wanted to criticize, though.

    I encourage you to get away from pop culture fads and embrace a lifestyle that you enjoy so much that you would never dream of "cheating" yourself again. :flowerforyou:

    I've had the Julian's bread before. It wasn't the paleo bread, just the low carb one. IMHO, it's too expensive to rely on as a regular staple in my diet, but it was nice to toast and put peanut butter on once in a while.

    I think people forget that there's more than one way to skin a cat. Some die hard paleo eaters allow stuff like this once in a while. Others think that anything that is made as a replacement for a forbidden food should be forbidden as well. Some are super strict, but do eat cheese.

    At the end of the day, whatever camp you belong to, as long as you find something sustainable and healthy, you'll be alright.

    Thank you so much! I totally agree. :heart: :heart: :heart:

    But if it's made from all things that are paleo (almonds, coconut, etc) how is it not paleo?

    Do you have to bake it? I just think it's funny it's called Paleo bread when bread itself is not allowed on Paleo. You'll eat bread, but you won't eat a pizza crust made of cheese because it's not allowed.

    What's allowed is an easier thing for me to answer, which includes vegetables, nuts, fruits, meats, etc

    The bread comes from everything that is allowed. So hm.

    So it's allowable because it doesn't have wheat in it? I am genuinely confused as to why it's allowed. How do you bake bread with no flour and yeast?

    The grind almonds, coconut & seeds and use that to make it. No yeast is required. I'm not a baker, so I can't exactly go into the very detail about it.

    I'm not even asking if you agree with my choice- I'm asking about the taste.

    it does have flour...

    •1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
    •2 tablespoons coconut flour
    •1/4 cup golden flaxseed meal
    •1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
    •1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    •5 eggs
    •1/4 cup coconut oil
    •1 tablespoon honey
    •1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

    and to the OP I wasn't critizing...I was asking as Paleo spefically says no bread...as it is processed and uses method which were not available to Paleolithic man...

    And I know this as I have family who are die hard paleo eaters...no bread of any sort...no processing of foods that wasn't present during that time...etc.



    EAT:
    •Grass-produced meats
    •Fish/seafood
    •Fresh fruits
    •Fresh Vegetables
    •Eggs
    •Nuts
    •Seeds
    •Healthy oils (Olive, walnut, flaxseed, macadamia, avocado, coconut)




    DON’T EAT:
    •Cereal grains
    •Legumes (including peanuts)
    •Dairy
    •Refined sugar
    •Potatoes
    •Processed foods
    •Salt
    •Refined vegetable oils
    •Candy / Junk / Processed Food
    Key here is "processed food" and to grind the nuts = processed

    I'd love to hear what you think of it. I am mostly Paleo myself, and currently on the low carb spectrum to finish losing the last 15 pounds. (I've lost 127 in the past 3 years) But, every now and then, I enjoy a Paleo friendly treat. The great thing about it, is that as long as you stick to eating meats, fish, nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies, and natural sweetners such as honey or maple syrup, there is no 1 right way to be Paleo. Sometimes I enjoy some rice with my Thai food, or a little bit of fresh cheese, but other than that, my daily food is Paleo.

    I say go for it if that's what you want. But seriously - something about the words "Microwarve Paleo Bread" makes no sense!!

    You're absolutely correct. After I posted it and thought about it, I did add to my original post that the combination of words may sound dumb. Regardless, the bread is quick and delicious and I wanted to share with OP because it's a more affordable version of the bread they're speaking of. The use of the word paleo merely means the recipe uses paleo friendly ingredients, not that cavemen had the ability to make it. Obviously, there are as many different levels of paleo as there are vegetarian. I'm not strict paleo, but I do enjoy many of the recipes because I like to keep things simple. To each their own! :drinker:

    So don't eat pale. Focus on YOUR eating and move on.

    exactly. paleo argues that cavemen did not eat grains

    but then almond flour and coconut.flour have just been around in a decade.or so. at least.grains like.rice and wheat have beeen around thousands of years

    it also.boggles my mind why people.who.label their.lifestyle as "paleo" when they drive cars, buy stuff instead of hunt, and live in homes, not in caves

    they should.call their lifestyle anti.grain, not paleo.since they are not living the "paleolithic way"

    Thanks for the reiteration. I've all ready addressed this, though.

    How is it not paleo if it is made only from things allowed by paleo (almond, coconut, etc)?

    If you can't answer that, then I don't need your criticism !
    Well let's look at the actual definition of BREAD:

    bread
    bred/
    noun
    noun: bread; plural noun: breads

    1.
    food made of flour, water, and yeast or another leavening agent, mixed together and baked.
    "a loaf of bread"

    See nothing about coconut, almond, etc.

    Hope that answered your question.
