Siete Family Foods Two packs of 8 tortillas, $22 • sietefoods.com • Dairy free, soy free, gluten free, grain free, non-GMO, preservative free Let’s be real.

have to be compromised if you don’t have the time to prep every meal. Pour the MuffinElse mix into a mug, add four tablespoons of water, then pop into the microwave for 90 seconds. With flavors like cinnamon rising, double chocolate, nutty maple, and pecan clover (made of only eight ingredients), it’s an extra win in the taste department, too.

SEASONINGS

Paleo Powder

Desert Farms Camel Milk • No hormones, pasture raised, non-GMO, gluten free, BPA free Technically, this is a dairy product, and dairy isn’t compliant with the paleo diet. Many are making the exception though, because camel’s milk is said to be suitable for those with lactose intolerance and is much easier to digest than cow or goat milk. Common in the Middle East, it’ll be interesting to see how Americans respond to it on the shelves. After all, it’s not too different than what we’re used to—it tastes like, well, milk! afm
