    There is no easier time to enjoy a paleo lifestyle than in the summer months! I've rounded up my favorite 13 summer paleo recipes for breakfast, dinner, meal prep, and dessert. These are simple, clean paleo recipes that you'll want to make right now and all summer long!

    There is no better time than summer to experiment with a paleo lifestyle or do a Whole30. The abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables makes it so much easier to kick grains, beans, and dairy aside and dive into meals bursting with seasonal, nutrient dense produce. I’ve rounded up my favorite Summer Paleo Recipes featuring the very best bounty of the season. These are tried-and-true recipes that both OSK readers and my family absolutely love – and you will too! 

    There is no easier time to enjoy a paleo lifestyle than in the summer months! I've rounded up my favorite 13 summer paleo recipes for breakfast, dinner, meal prep, and dessert. These are simple, clean paleo recipes that you'll want to make right now and all summer long!


    I’ve mentioned time and time again on this blog that I don’t subscribe to a particular diet 100% of the time. My body’s needs change as the seasons change, and I’ve never felt the need to box myself into a rigid food lifestyle. That being said, I’m the most paleo I’ll ever be in the summer months, and it’s both an easy and natural choice.

    13 TRIED AND TRUE SUMMER PALEO RECIPES

    Summer produce is abundant, nourishing, and the most delicious it will ever be right now. Here are thirteen tried-and-true summer paleo recipes that will have you feeling strong, vibrant, and totally in tune with the season.

    1. Grilled Chicken with Strawberry BBQ Sauce

    This strawberry BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy, refined sugar free, and 100% paleo. Best part? NO OVEN REQUIRED. Summer paleo eatin’ at it’s most chill. Make it a 100% grilled meal by throwing some potatoes and zucchini wedges into a grilling basket next to the chicken.

    2. Chicken Shawarma Salad

    This is without a doubt, hands-down, my favorite summer paleo recipe. Easy, elegant, packed with nutrition, and freaking delicious. My kids love it, and it’s an excellent recipe to cook for company. Both paleo and Whole30!

    3. Paleo Zucchini Bread with Walnuts and Chocolate Chips

    We all need a sweet treat in the summer, and this paleo zucchini bread will not leave you disappointed. It’s crumbly, moist, just sweet enough, and packed with three whole zucchini. You’ll be begging your neighbors for their surplus of garden squash!

    4. Mango Cucumber Salsa over Pan Seared Salmon

    Salmon season hits its peak mid-summer, and if you can, you should source this nutrient-dense and omega-3-packed fillet as fresh as you can get it. Salmon is my go-to dinner during beach week, and my favorite paleo and Whole30 topping is this fresh and tangy cucumber mango salsa.

    I admit it – I’m my most lazy in the summer, and I tend to reach for take-out a little more often than I should. But this paleo burrito bowl has me humming a different tune because it’s so stinkin’ easy and delicious.
