Paleo Quiche Recipe - Dr. Axe:

Quiches: They’re delicious at breakfast and brunch, but also make a mean dinner. A lot of folks stay away from quiches because they look so complicated. But that’s what makes quiches so fantastic. They appear super elegant and difficult, but shhh — they’re actually a cinch to make.

This Paleo Quiche is going to be on heavy rotation in your family menus. In fact, you probably already have all the ingredients you need on hand. With staples like better-than-butter ghee, protein-rich eggs and super-beneficial coconut milk, this Paleo quiche takes only 10 minutes to prep and under an hour to get on the table.

Let’s get cooking!

Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a bowl, mix the flour with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Because the flour is gluten-free, this entire dish is Paleo-friendly. Score!

In a separate bowl, mix the ghee and water. Add the mix to the bowl of flour and form a dough. Once the dough is ready, press it into a 9-inch greased pie crust pan.

Next, combine the eggs, coconut milk, salt and pepper in a bowl and give them a good whisk. Then layer the fresh spinach, turkey bacon and cheese atop the crust, and then pour the egg mixture over it all.

Bake the Paleo quiche for 35–45 minutes or until the egg has set. Your quiche is ready!

This dish really is an excellent choice for whatever meal you choose to serve it at. And because it’s so simple to make, there’s no reason not to make it right away.

Flexitarian Diet: Benefits, Steps & Foods - Dr. Axe

Best Flexitarian Diet I Am ON:

Compare these two types of Dieting: (Check out Dr Axe's video about Paleo vs. vegan diets.)

BUT: So it’s a bit of fresh air when instead of being super-restrictive, a diet adds a little leeway to your life instead. Enter the world of flexitarians.

Often described as vegetarians with benefits, flexitarians are people whose diet is mostly vegetarian but sometimes includes meat, fish or poultry. (1) And while stickler vegetarians and vegans sometimes consider flexitarianism a form of “cheating,” the diet just might be one of the best ways to reduce environmental impact and improve health.

---

So What Is a Flexitarian?

Flexitarians are just that – flexible. Instead of committing to a full-time, plant-based diet, flexitarians focus on eating mainly whole foods like fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy. (I still recommend, for even great health gains, that you go with gluten-free grains or at least sprouted grains, and the raw dairy or goat milk-based dairy.)

The amount of meat that flexitarians consume varies: Some might spend six days eating meat-free and then enjoy a Sunday roast, while others might eat a small amount of meat a few days a week.

While it might seem foreign to some people who grew up on a meat and potatoes diet to start treating meat more like a garnish, consider that Americans are eating a whole lot more meat than we used to. In the 1950s, for example, the average American consumed 138.2 pounds of meat a year. That number soared to more than 195 pounds in 2000. (2).

For people who can’t seem to commit to cutting out burgers or fish entirely but want to improve their health or reduce the environmental impact of eating meat and fish, flexitarianism offers a compromise. It also fits in nicely with what healthy eating advocates like Michael Pollan offer as a guideline to eating well: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

But is becoming a flexitarian the right option for you? Let’s take a look.

The 4 Big Benefits of Flexitarianism

1. You can make it work for your family

One of the greatest benefits of flexitarianism is that there are no hard and fast rules. It is largely a shift in mindset, from thinking that meals require meat to be “complete” to one where meat might be added occasionally. Instead of focusing on not eating meat, flexitarianism emphasizes more veggies and fruits.

A focus on reducing meat and fish intake means that families spend less overall on their grocery budgets and inferior quality meats. We know the dangers of cheap, factory-farmed meats: grain-fed meats packed with antibiotics and resistant strains of bacteria and viruses. Farmed fish isn’t any better: they can cause inflammation in humans and have high levels of cancer-causing chemicals.

Now, the average family (including my own!) cannot afford to purchase quality grass-fed beef or wild-caught salmon for seven meals a week. But it does become a lot more budget-friendly and feasible to buy healthy meats at your local farmers’ market or from the butcher when you’re shopping for just one or two meals or featuring meat as a side dish instead of the main.
