If your hungry and dont have the energy to cook paleo meals, it would be a good idea to have some fresh fruit on hand, especially vitamin c rich oranges; this is a great time to start eating the paleo leftovers you have in the freezer. Below are some recipes for Paleo teas and some paleo chicken soup.
Vitamin C-Rich Tea
------------------
Infuse:
1 part dandelion leaf
1 part rose hip
1 part hibiscus flower
1 part raspberry leaf
These vitamin C-rich herbs are also high in flavonoids, which help improve
the body's assimilation of that nutrient.

Postsurgery/Recovery Tea
------------------------
Infuse:
1 part dandelion leaf
1 part nettle leaf
Decoct:
1 part dandelion root
1/2 part licorice root
1 part Siberian ginseng root
This is an excellent blend for cleansing drug residue out of the body and
building strength and energy.

Paleo Chicken Soup
------------------
Take the carcass of your Rosemary Chicken and put in a pan with 4-5 cups of
water and a little salt. Simmer about an hour. Strain the broth. Pick all
the meat off the bones.
Put broth in a pan with the meat, add some chopped onion or leek, a little
chopped carrot, other appropriate veggies you have on hand such as green
beans, zucchini, daikon, yellow squash or bell pepper. Simmer 15 minutes.
Then chop and add some nice green: spinach, bok choy, kale, collards, or
chard. Simmer another
10 minutes, add herbal salt or other seasonings.
