This month I will be entering my second year in CrossFit and part of that is rethinking goals for both fitness and nutrition. (More on this closer to the anniversary date of June 22nd). But it made me think of Paleo challenges especially over barbecues and weekend parties. One common discussion when I bring up Paleo is not ‘what do you eat’ any more – I think people resigned to the fact that we’re ‘Against the Grain’. The new question now is ‘what do you drink?’. Since I don’t drink beer and hard liquor, I didn’t have the usual paleo withdrawal challenges of the grain drinkers. I do like wine though and wine is not paleo. Yes, it came with agriculture even if thousands of years before the beer monks…
The one drink that is pre-agriculture may be mead. Getting mead is almost impossible in any local store and most producers do not ship. If you find one that does you would be happy to know that 4 ounces are 1 zone blocks and the drink may be closest to Paleo you can find.
