May I suggest - tea !
Its healthy, and fine loose teas really are "a gourmet bargain".
I dont know if (green) tea is regarded as paleo, but in my experience it
fits very well into the paleodiet - much better than coffee.
When I went "paleo" I started drinking (green) tea instead of coffee.
It helped me to get rid of a bad coffee addiction (10 cups a day) .
It has been a wonderful "gourmet adventure" to learn all the different
types of tea (green, black, red, oolong etc.)
Talking so much about food and health , we shouldnt forget the mind.
Enjoying a fine tea is a beatiful contemplative experience.
Some green teas can even be eaten (and traditionally are ).
I often "nibble" the tender green tealeaves after steeping.
Paleo-eating made my lose my food crawings (cookies, chips , chocolate ..)
- I kind of missed it :-) ... going to the kitchen - realizing that I
just wasnt hungry - although it would have been "cosy" to eat something.
Then I made a beatiful cup of tea .
