caitpage Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So I'm on what? Day 25? I've been 100% compliant, OR SO I THOUGHT. I have Well Fed, and I really like it. I haven't been cooking many of the recipes this time around, but it saved me during my first Whole 30. However, one thing I still make regularly is her coconut whipped cream recipe. Since she says the only non-Whole 30 compliant recipe is the peach cobbler, I thought I was fine! Even Melissa Hartwig says: "The only “non-approved†recipe is a peach cobbler, under the “fruit†section. The ingredients are all squeaky-clean, but it was a little too close to a Paleo-ified dessert for the program." http://whole9life.com/2011/12/well-fed/ BUT then I'm scrolling through the "official can I have __ guide", and vanilla extract is a NO, which is an ingredient in Well Fed's coconut whipped cream! http://whole9life.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I've been making that whipped cream about two times a week. I toss a dollup in my coffee or dip berries in it as a sweet treat with dinner.

amberino21 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 You may be able to get vanilla without sugar/alcohol, otherwise it's out! Oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitpage Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Guess I'll have to join the 1 September group! Haha, man that stinks. I'm going to pick up some Vanilla Bean powder TODAY. Can't live without that whipped cream. It's so darn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Try it without vanilla! I've never made whipped cream - too dessert like I think - but I've just had a bit of coconut milk on fruit and its yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexes42 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Note that they say 'this ruling is kinda silly' on the Vanilla Extract.... it's there to stay black and white on the alcohol thing. So get the vanilla bean powder, but don't think of the last 25 days as wasted AT ALL! You've done great to get so far...don't let vanilla extract ruin your confidence and send you off the program altogether! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 There's really no reason to restart because of vanilla extract - you're just fine There's been some hemming and hawing over the vanilla and it really is a very fine line technicality. So, ditch it from here on out (if you haven't already) but don't stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Like everyone else has said, I wouldn't worry about the extract. That recipe only calls for a teaspoon of it anyway, so it's not like you've been dumping bourbon in your whipped coconut cream. That being said, like amberino21 mentioned, I make it with just the coconut cream all the time and it's just as delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I wouldn't give up over the vanilla, but I am curious about the idea of using it and fruit as a "sweet treat." Like amberino said, it sounds dessert-like and getting beyond dessert - even fruit and fat - is one of the goals of a Whole30 (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
