justmary Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I like to keep an emergency food stash in my purse, just in case I'm out and my blood sugar gets too low. One of the things I keep is Justin's Classic Almond Butter. I am actually not a huge fan of it (so not worried about it becoming a "snack" or swypo food), but it does the trick and is easily portable. However, the ingredients are dry roasted almonds and organic palm fruit oil. I haven't had any since I started my Whole30, and usually only have one once a week or so, but I'm wondering if the palm oil is even allowed? I did a search on the forum but couldn't find any mention. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinkse21 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 As far as I know, palm oil is approved. I have a jar of it that I am trying get the guts to use. Maybe a moderator will way in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think palm oil is allowed, but a mod may correct me on that. If you buy it in those little packets, Artisana also have nut butters in little packets (as well as coconut butter!) and I'm pretty sure they're pure nuts. Now if only someone will make little packets of coconut oil, I'll be sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2014 There's a thread about this here: http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/301-palm-oil/ The verdict is it's okay for Whole30. But I second the suggestion of finding Artisana brand if you can, it is just nuts. And their cashew butter is amazing, although I can't buy it by the jar or I'll just sit and eat it with a spoon. But an occasional individual single serving packet is nice every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmary Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks, everyone! I will keep my eye out for the Artisana kind, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hey, @praxisproject -- I don't know if you can get these in Australia, but I was browsing Amazon.com and found individual packets of coconut oil: http://www.amazon.com/Artisana-100%25-Organic-Coconut-Packets/dp/B004S78MZG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1388956212&sr=8-5&keywords=coconut+oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaCordelia Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What a relief - for the life of me I wasn't sure if Palm Fruit Oil was another creative word for sugar and I was really jonesing for a packet of Justin's Almond Butter. Thank you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes! We also get the little packets of nut butter too. Now if only someone would sell mini coconut milks for me to take to cafes which don't make fresh almond milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
