klk25 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I made a muffin receipe for the Whole30 program. It was a receipe found in one of the resource guides. It contained egg, pure vanilla, lemon juice from a fresh lemon, lemon zest, fresh blueberries, coconut oil and 1/2 cup almond flour. Are these not OK to eat on the Whole30 program?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 5, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2012 Not okay. Muffins made with almond flour and fruit is SWYPO. Don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klk25 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Then why is it in one of the resource books? I cant remember off the top of my head which one it was. Fresh fruit is not OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Fresh fruit is ok, 1-2 pices a day, pref with meals, not as a snack. But re-creating a baked muffin with paleo ingredients isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherV Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 How about almond flour crackers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Klk25, I can guarantee that it isn't in a Whole9 publication. Perhaps the Paleo Recipe Book linked onour site? There are several recipes in that cookbook that aren't Whole30 approved. They are fine for life after. Always compare recipes to the program guidelines.

Robin Strathdee Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 And no to the crackers for the same reason. :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine65 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Can I use almond extract? (for my coffee?) or orange oil (for my coffee?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealAndra Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sunshine, as long as it is pure with no alcohol, sugar or other non-W30 approved ingredients, I'm pretty sure it's okay to put a drop or two to flavor your coffee. I like to sprinkle pumpkin pie spice over the coffee grounds before making a pot. Oooh, that tastes so nice! Like a pumpkin spice latte from $tarbuck$ without the questionable ingredients.

Renee Lee Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 as long as there isn't alcohol or sugar in the extract/oils, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silk Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 So... is almond flour out altogether? I don't need it personally, but my husband and son made some meat loaf with some almond flour in it, and now we're in a discussion as to whether almond flour is out altogether, or whether it's the dessert / muffins issue. Can you clarify? If almond flour is out altogether, what's the difference between eating some nuts and adding almond flour to a recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Almond flour is okay in a recipe like meat loaf. It just isn't okay to make muffins, cakes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 So what about a not sweet Pre/post WO portable protein pancake made with eggs, coconut milk, almond meal and coconut flour.... Eaten plain... I made this a few weeks ago. I made two and as it was at least 3 days before I got around to using the second one I figured I wasnt using it as a swypo dish....

Xandra Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I don't think you're going to get anyone to say paleofied pancakes are W30. But I can recommend the Egg Foo Yung from Well-Fed as a possible alternative for your workouts: http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2010/08/08/paleo-egg-foo-yung/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Here's the thing: There's a difference between a "pancake" and a fried disc of stuff. For example, if I make a "batter" out of sweet, eggs, and coconut flour and serve it next to a steak, that's fine EVEN IF I call it a zucchini pancake. But, if I eat that same thing with some sauteed fruit and coconut milk as a topping, next to some eggs and bacon, its OUT. The difference is context. In a grab-out-of-the-cooler post workout context, I'm gonna call those protein discs okay. Are there easier PWO options? Yeah. Will I get concerned if this goes to breakfast and/or dessert status, yeah. But one or two of these per week as grab and go PWO nutrition doesn't worry me.

Susan W Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Oh Robin, you are so good. I was wanting to say "just don't use the word pancake or talk about topping it", but that seemed like such lame answer. Love the term "disc" and your explanation was so perfect.

Miranda Feamster Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Found a recipe for salmon muffins that calls for almond flour...ok or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Intriguing, but probably okay. Can you link the recipe so I can be sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepifer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Found a recipe for salmon muffins that calls for almond flour...ok or not? I'd say that's fine, since it's a binding agent for the salmon, like you'd use for meatballs or meatloaf/meat muffins. ETA: Robin posted as I was typing, so I'd defer to her experience.

Robin Strathdee Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm assuming that it's like salmon cakes, which is definitely okay, but just in case... ETA: Because it would be me that's like, "yeah! go ahead!" and it's totally like a Red Lobster cheese biscuit thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
