TessTurbo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've been eating FOOD food, but there are times (for example, hikes, air travel, road trips) when I'd like to have something on hand for an emergency. Here's the ingredients list. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've been eating FOOD food, but there are times (for example, hikes, air travel, road trips) when I'd like to have something on hand for an emergency. Here's the ingredients list. Thanks. Is this a Larabar? I believe this is compliant but there may be better choices out there. Have you checked out Primal Packs, Chomp Sticks or Yawp bars (these are not whole30 approved but the ingredients on some of the bars are compliant)? Here is the link to the whole30 approved list. http://whole30.com/whole30-approved/. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TessTurbo Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 No, it's these. http://navitasnaturals.com/product/497/Snack-Blueberry-Hemp.html I saw them at my grocery store with all the other superfood powders and was surprised at what WASN'T in there. I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The lucuma powder is considered a sweetener, which would make this a no, sorry. Larabars with compliant ingredients are one possible emergency food. Check out the Whole30 for atheletes section for more ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meemi Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 But Lucuma Powder is a derivative of fruit: From the Navitas Website: Navitas Naturals Lucuma Powder is made from whole Peruvian lucuma fruit that has been dried at low temperatures and milled into a fine powder. This low-glycemic sweetener contains many nutrients including beta-carotene, iron, zinc, vitamin B3, calcium and protein. Yellow lucuma powder has a unique, maple-like taste that’s a delight in a variety of recipes. The whole30 Info page: No added sugar of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, stevia, etc. Fruit or fruit juice is the only acceptable sweetener. Please clarify. Thanks!!

Mia Lucuma is a fruit. If you find a whole one and eat it, great. If you dry it out and grind it into a powder, it's really not a fruit any more, it is a sweetener. It is being used as a sweetener. Sweeteners are not allowed on a whole30. Not to mention that bars of any kind are really not the best choice of food. They are allowed on a whole30 as an emergency food, as in you're stuck in traffic and ate ready to gnaw your arm off from hunger. Or they're allowed for endurance athletes who need quick, easy to carry energy sources. Even in either of those cases there are better options that use whole fruit instead of stuff derived from fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
