Unboxed: 6 paleo-perfect foods and beverages
A peek at some new, Grok-approved paleo products.
A magical blend of sugary syrups from the forest, we can’t wait to drizzle this viscous sweetener mashup over waffles, pancakes and Greek yogurt. Maple syrup’s robustness and honey’s floral notes make this condiment, in small amounts, an excellent addition to savory dishes, too.
Sweetened with consciously sourced coconut sugar, this paleo-friendly (it does contain tapioca syrup, which is on the paleo cusp) beverage contains coconut milk, coffee, turmeric, vanilla, black pepper, ground ginger and importantly, collagen peptides. Simply dissolve the latte in hot water and enjoy.
Soft, almond-tinged chunks of grain-free yumminess, these Certified Paleo snacks are made with a very simple blend of almonds, coconut, honey, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut oil, almond extract and salt. Eat them straight from the bag, or pair the clusters with yogurt, (coconut milk) ice cream or nondairy milk.
Unlike most chocolate-coated nuts, dried fruits or candy, Hu’s chocolate-covered almonds don’t contain the (usually not natural) shiny glaze. Rather, you’ll find whole almonds coated in organic cacao, coconut sugar, fair-trade cocoa and sea salt. They’re a pleasantly bitter, not-too-sweet treat.
Experts say that, while derived from butter, ghee is suitable to incorporate into a paleo diet because it contains no milk solids. GloryBee’s version is made with grass-fed brown butter and domestic honey sourced and made in the Pacific Northwest. Spread this luscious ghee on everything.
A paleo, vegan and quick-to-make pizza crust? Count us in! This savory blend contains tapioca starch, almond flour, arrowroot, cauliflower powder, sweet potato powder, chia seed powder and a touch of oregano to infuse that all-important pizza shop flavor. This product provides huge time-saving benefits to grain-free cooking.

10,000 years ago, our paleolithic brethren certainly didn't have access to the plethora of grain-free, dairy-free products available today. But we sure do! These six new paleo-friendly foods and beverages represent just a small fraction of the nutritious, refined-sugar-free products launching in retail.
Contrary to popular belief, paleo doesn't necessarily just mean meat. Rather, many of the products featured in this gallery don't contain animal products at all (save for a touch of honey here; a smidgen of grass-fed ghee there).
While studies suggest the number of folks who rigorously follow a paleo diet is relatively low (estimates are around 1 percent of the population—fewer followers than the vegan diet), the market also attracts people who do not identify as paleo eaters. Those who prioritize clean eating, grain-free ingredients and no refined sugars also purchase paleo products. Greater market size has led to paleo's $300 million sales in 2018, as estimated by Nutrition Business Journal.
