Progressive Paleo

Restaurant, American

For those that aren’t up on the trend, a paleo diet is a modern interpretation of what humans ate during the Paleolithic era. That means the food consists of nuts, organic fruits and vegetables, wild seafood, free range eggs, and grass fed meats. None of the food is processed, nor does it contain grains, sugar, soy, dairy, or legumes. Though this may seem limiting, Progressive Paleo’s meals can be found in most restaurants; just the ingredients and preparation are varied. Enjoy all of your favorites, including lasagna, Salisbury steak, shepherd’s pie, steak salad, jambalaya, and more. There are even desserts, like muffins, macaroons, and pie. Guests may come into the restaurant and enjoy meat and non-meat dishes, or order them online and have them delivered directly to their home. Progressive Paleo also offers meal plans at a fixed price, which include entrees, sides, and sauces that will last you a certain amount of time.
