KristenD Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I know these three things are compliant and should be eaten in moderation. If snacking is discouraged, when are these foods supposed to be eaten at all? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I put both raisins, nuts, and crisped prosciutto in my salads - Salads are perfect for building harmony in food: salty, sweet, crunchy, bitter, sour. Nut butters are pretty much only consumed for bases for sauces for my meals. Think Well Fed Cookbook : Sunshine sauce and Hoisin sauce. I also make an Asian style dressing for a colslaw recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted July 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm a "fruit in recipes" gal, myself. The pineapple in Pina Colada Chicken, apples stuffed into a pork loin, strawberries in a green salad. I choose to stay away from nuts and nut butters because they do not serve my stomach well and I can never get enough of them. Some people carry a little baggie of nuts like almonds as their "emergency" food if they are stuck in traffic/late at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I am another one for fruit in salads -- a sprinkle of blueberries, raspberries or blackberries in a salad, some sliced grapes in a chicken curry salad, raisins in broccoli salad -- and nuts as a garnish or used to bread chicken or as a binder in meatballs or meatloaf. I learned long ago at the beginning of my first Whole30 that macadamias are banished from my island, since I had a one day love affair with a can from Costco! Nut butters don't have the same draw as whole nuts, and I use them in salad dressings and sauces and I will occasionally have almond butter stuffed celery with breakfast or lunch as my fat of choice.

Bexstoth Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I put nut butter in coconut milk to make a thai curry sauce x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted July 22, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2015 I like nuts chopped and sprinkled in pan-fried brussels sprouts, slivered with green beans, atop my Velvety Butternut Squash (heaven!) and in salads. I also have a small bag of Brazilnuts at work and I eat two a day for the selenium. They're not particularly tasty, so they don't pose a food without brakes issue for me. I really don't eat much fruit at all, I found I lost my taste for bananas on my first Whole30. When I do eat fruit it's usually berries, and I eat it along with whatever meal I'm having. I try not to eat it at Meal 1, it seems to make me hungrier all day. Occasionally I will eat a big spoonful of nut butter as a pre-workout meal if I have nothing better on hand.

fmr_sailor Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I had bought some compliant almond butter, but after I tasted it, I took it back for a refund. It was not tasty to me at all. I'd rather have the almonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
