Paleo Meal Swap

LMI Fitness will be coordinating the third Paleo Meal swap on May 6, 2013 6pm at CrossFit CRUSH.
Our first and second swaps have been great with 9-10 people participating in each!

Guidelines for the swap:

1. In order to avoid duplicates provide the meal you would like to swap by replying to all in the email sent to those interested in participating. Choosing of the meals on the day of the swap will go in the order of responses received. Respond no later than May 2. 

2. Keep it Paleo, and as clean as possible. A good resource for learning about clean/Paleo foods.

3. Six of the same meal, Four servings in each.  

4.Freeze it before swap.  

5. Include recipe and any instructions for re-heating. Label meal directly with what it is and date it was packaged.

Some tips... for easy transportation bring a cooler to the swap with your meals in it and pack away your new meals in your cooler to take home.
Freeze your meals in an airtight container, gallon Ziploc bags work well as do the large Ziploc containers.

Looking for recipe ideas? Check out this blog.

For those that have participated, does anyone have any other good tips about batch cooking or storing/freezing?
One more thought... I propose donating one of the five meals to provide a set of meals for a family in need (know anyone?)

If anyone in the Denver/Aurora area is interested in meeting up with us to swap meals please email me and I will add you to our list. Next swap is scheduled for Monday, June 3rd!
