Something that's difficult to do on the Paleo diet is snack. It usually just turns into a small meal or it's leftovers (which I still have not had other than the soup because of the way that I prepare my food in smaller quantities). Berries and nuts are a good staple for a snack, but that can get a little dull just plain...
So,
if you want something salty...
take about 2 oz of raw unsalted sunflower seeds, squeeze a slice of lime over them and stir. Add a couple grinds of black pepper.
OR
something warm and sweet...
1) take frozen strawberries and put them in a small saucepan with 1/2 a cup of water, cover it and cook on the stovetop. After it's bubbling pretty well, take the top off, and mash up the strawberries, add in a little cinnamon and let it simmer until it thickens. (you could probably add a banana or two in with this too)
2) slice a banana in half down the entire length and then again in the middle. Place on a cookie sheet and broil or place in a skillet. Keep an eye on them, in my experience they all take different times to cook... When one side has started to brown a little turn them over. These are good on their own or you can add a little cinnamon, and/or unsweetened baking cocoa is particularly fantastic with them.
Those are just some quick little snacks to tide you over if you don't have the time to sit down and cook a full meal. Or if you're sitting down to watch a movie and absolutely have to have something to munch on and don't want to blow a day of careful dieting.
