The day will come when we tick ‘create our own paleo BBQ sauce’ off our list. However, when you google paleo BBQ sauce recipes it’s apparent there’s an endless list of ingredients required to create the perfect sauce. And to tell you the truth? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
In the meantime, we’re excited to have found a paleo-friendly bottled variety – and it’s really good. In fact, we’ve been dressing lots of meals with this sauce: salads, stir frys, meat marinades, you name it.
This BBQ sauce is made from garlic, sea salt and coconut blossom nectar. This is from the coconut palm – harvesters climb the tree, bind new flower buds together, slice the end off and collect the sweet dripping sap. The nectar is naturally sweet (with just 1g of sugar per 100mL), has a low GI of 35, contains 17 amino acids as well as Vitamin B and C.
The Niulife variety is also 100% certified organic. Thank you – we’ll take 10 bottles!
Just one of the many meals we’ve created using our new-found love is this quick and easy paleo BBQ pork with zoodles. It’s super yum and sure to please most taste buds. If pork isn’t your thing, swap for your favourite meat or ramp up the amount of veggies.
