intheboonies Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 1st day, not really prepared, but going for it! This is all I could come up with on short notice. Haven't made any of the Whole30 olive oil mayo yet, so I just mixed some coconut oil in. Forgot the salt and pepper so I think I'll go back downstairs and put some in. My Desperate Chicken Salad: Canned chicken Chopped celery Sliced almonds Cranberries Coconut oil I guess I'll eat some carrots to round this out.

Nadia B Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Good luck. Make sure that chicken has allowed ingredients. I've never seen a good can of chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Sounds good to me! It doesnt have to be gourmet to taste delicious. My favorite meal on the go is 1lb of ground turkey with publix brand salsa. Yummy and really quick and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would check the ingredients on your dried cranberries because so many of them have sugar and other yuckies in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percypat Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would check the ingredients on your dried cranberries because so many of them have sugar and other yuckies in them! Oh yes, and sunflower oil. Why, why?

Susan W Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I kind of love the Desparate Chicken Salad. I think I will use it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheboonies Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 The canned chicken is clean, the only thing added is water and salt. It's the Sam's Club brand. The cranberries do have sugar added. However, I compared the Nutrition Facts on the bag with raisins (with no added sugar) and it's very similar. It does say that sunflower oil is used as a processing aid. Not sure what that means exactly, but I'm not going to sweat it since I use so few. I made some olive oil mayo that night and added it and it was a little less desperate.

Kirsteen Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Sunflower oil is not an ideal oil but wouldn't break a W30, however, ditch the cranberries. On a W30 we're looking at actual ingredients not the nutrition profile, so cranberries with added sugar are out. I know it's possible to get them without the sugar, I couldn't find any over here so ended up buying frozen ones at Wholefoods and drying my own. For what it's worth I agree that raisins ar horrendously high in nautural sugars and I found I had to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
