I love Whole30 because I spend my time and energy preparing and eating whole, delicious foods without fillers. I also find myself cooking even more than I usually do because that way I know what’s going in my food. But sometimes I feel the need to simplify my life a little, and purchase something that’s been made by someone else.
I bought it years ago, before Whole30, and was decidedly unimpressed. It had no taste or flavor. It was $8.99 down the drain (thanks, Whole Foods!). But then at work recently, someone had salted cashew butter. I thought I'd hate it, but figured it was worth a try since it was a nice Whole30 compliant nut butter (the ingredients are cashews and salt). Frankly, my mind was blown!
Dang Lightly Salted Coconut Chips (Unsweetened).
I bought these while on my first Whole30, and frankly I'm not sure why I haven't bought them since. They're crispy, slightly salty, and have a little natural sweetness from the coconut. No sugar added. Just salt and coconut. I'll be honest with you, I eat these straight from the bag. They'd also be good as a topper for smoothies, salads, or soups!
Rind Snacks.
I mentioned these in a recent post, but figured I'd mention them again here. I bought these online on a whim to try. Something about dried kiwi sounded interesting. I was a little perturbed by the rind on some of the dried fruits (kiwis, oranges, pineapples) but not the others (apples, persimmon, peaches). I have to say that (although I've only tried 2 of the three varieties), the kiwis were surprisingly my favorite. I love the tanginess of the kiwi with the crunch of the seeds. I can't explain it entirely. But I do recommend these. They come in three varieties: kiwi, orchard (peach, persimmon, apple), and tropical (kiwi, pineapple, orange).
Everything but the Bagel Seasoning.
A Trader Joe's exclusive (I'll have a homemade version posted soon). I LOVE it on my hard boiled egg whites or on top of avocado. I'm sure it would be great on a baked potato with ghee or even on some proteins. Gives a punch of flavor without any added sugar and very few calories!
