Paleo Snacks

Since switching to the Paleo diet, I find I don’t get hungry very often; I tend to eat only 1 or 2 “traditional” meals a day.  However, I also enjoy snacks, partly as a social thing, and partly for a change of pace.  Unfortunately, my portfolio of Paleo-compatible snacks isn’t very large.  If you have any ideas, I would very much like to hear them.

[[MORE]]To get things started, here’s one for chocolate lovers:

30 grams coarsely-chopped 85% Lindt chocolate (3 squares or 3 level tablespoons)
12 grams baking cocoa powder (3 level teaspoons)
2 oz heavy cream (about enough to cover the dry ingredients)
8 oz whole milk

Mix in a large mug, stir, and eat with a teaspoon (I like to pretend it’s ice cream, rather than chocolate milk).

According to FitDay, the result is 73% fat, 11% protein, 16% carbs (22 gr total) and 555 calories.  I sometimes use more like 4 oz of cream, which brings it up to 80% fat.
