schick13 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Does anyone have good ideas for sweet snacks/4th meal?? I read about the pumpkin/sweet potato puree with coconut milk... could I do almond butter/banana/coconut and still be compliant? Also, wondering if the moderator could chime in on this... I just want to make sure that I am ok eating a "sweet" snack/meal? My demon was definitely sugar, so I am wondering if this is ok, or if I need to cut anything sweet out completely (I might go insane)? Or is it better to have it WITH a meal (i.e. a banana/coconut milk/almond butter shake with breakfast)? I am breastfeeding, so I know I need the calories, but I also want to make the most of this 30 days and want to get rid of this sweet tooth... just hoping I can do it along with having some naturally sweet items as well!

GFChris Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You want to stay away from sweet treats on a Whole30, especially if it's feeding a sugar dragon, and your goals include getting rid of a sweet tooth. Whole30 doesn't want you to shoehorn compliant ingredients into treats. Whole fruit as part of your main meals - fine. A fourth meal that meets the template of protein/veg/fat - fine, if you're hungry (hungry = you could eat steamed fish and broccoli).Smoothies/shakes are discouraged on a Whole30. The idea is to chew your food vs drink it, as chewing is more satiating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go a step further than Chris here: I would consider a pudding like this to be SWYPO and not permitted during the whole30. Give yourself permission to have a real fourth meal. Include protein and fat and vegetables and stop the pattern of having a sweet treat in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninadude Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hi Schick13, Remember that compliant means more than the organic material you select to eat, but the spirit in which it is prepared. We are trying to break free of the sugar-shackles. You CAN do this! You're Schick13! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schick13 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 ok - thank you! I read someone else in this forum recommend eating pumpkin puree with coconut milk as a snack for bfeeding moms, so assumed it was ok to throw a couple eggs in there with it and call it bfast! Will try and still to the eggs and just have a little fruit/nuts or nutbutter on the side with meals... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
