If you’re new to the Paleo diet or are already a veteran, the Paleo lifestyle often demands preparing ingredients and planning meals ahead of time. However, healthy eating doesn’t have to be crazy complicated. How about healthy three ingredient recipes that are effortless to make? Sounds good? Then let’s get started!

So how can you make your diet – which is already on the right track – even healthier than it already is, without adding more chopping, slicing, blending and prepping to your busy schedule?

We’ve got you covered. To make healthy eating easier to stick to than ever, we compiled a list of 31 healthy Paleo recipes from bloggers around the Web that require only THREE ingredients to make. That’s right, only three ingredients. No more searching through your cupboard for a laundry list of items you may or may not even have on hand! Simplifying Paleo will shorten your grocery list, cut down costs and speed up the cooking process. Win-win on all levels!

It should be noted that in these three-ingredient recipes, things like salt, pepper and water are excluded from being considered a true ingredient. In many cases, there are optional additional ingredients you can add to enhance flavor, but it’s entirely your choice. (You can live without that added maple syrup drizzle – or can you?)

To provide a truly well-rounded recipe list, we included breakfasts, lunches and dinners to get you through each day. This includes smoothies, salads, snacks, side dishes, slow-cooked meats and even decadent desserts. Salted almond ice cream, anyone?
