Diagnosed with an immune disorder, Hashimoto’s, in 2005; I didn’t understand how much it affected my energy, mood and overall quality of life until I embraced the Paleo Lifestyle and realized what I had been missing. Before going “cavewoman” it was a chore to participate in activities I enjoyed because I knew how tired I would be afterward. After seeing countless doctors and specialists I was fina
lly given the proper medication but always felt a little sluggish and never had quite the same level of energy I remembered having as a child. Having accidentally discovered the Paleo Diet in 2012 and the benefits of having more energy, and clarity of thought; I have become an advocate of the diet, converting several friends and family members. This is the story of how Paleo Parrot was born:
I wanted to stick with this lifestyle but I was missing my sweets so began experimenting with old dessert recipes. Just as I did for meals, I replaced processed foods with paleotastic alternatives such as Almond Flour, Fruits and Honey. At first the cookies tasted like cardboard and I couldn't give them away but after a lot of trial and error, I have found the right combination of paleo-approved ingredients to mimic the sweet taste I was craving. Moving to Colorado in 2014 made me realize when making the cookies for friends and family, others miss their sweets too. They would like to follow a caveperson lifestyle but don't have time to make their own desserts. This is the inspiration for Paleo Parrot; a grab and go, healthier alternative dessert option. I started building the company in FEB 2014 and will launch the first product in September of the same year. I sincerely hope you will join the evolution of clean treating and enjoy these sweet treats,
Christa
