Maryanne76 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Is this acceptable for Whole 30? Whole Foods Whole 365 Unsweetened Almond Milk Ingredients: Organic almondmilk (filtered water, organic almonds), tricalcium phosphate, sea salt, xanthan gum, potassium citrate, sunflower lecithin, vitamin a palmitate, ergocalciferol (vitamin d2), dl-alpha tocopherol acetate (vitamin e).

Maryanne76 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Now I'm hearing this is not compliant. Any other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted December 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2015 Now I'm hearing this is not compliant. Any other opinions? You'd just have to go and read labels and find one with no off-plan ingredients, if you want to buy one. You can make your own, or look for canned coconut milk (again, read the labels to find one that has okay ingredients). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi Maryanne, Check out: whole30.com/downloads/additives.pdf (just google "Whole 30 additives"). I think it's technically okay, as it does not contain any of the listed additives that are stricly and explicitly off-limits for the program (carrageenan, corn starch, MSG, soy lecithin, and sulfur). Xantham gum is acceptable for the program, as is sunflower lecithin (vs. soy lecithin). Some of the others are not explicitly listed. But let me ask you a question: how many of those ingredients are you familiar with? How many of them can you pronounce? Is that REALLY something you want to put into your body? (Okay, I'm probably putting this in a "leading" way. You are the boss of YOU and there is no WRONG answer, but we're here to encourage you to an OPTIMAL Whole30 experience). As suggested, you could make your own almond milk, as well. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-almond-milk-at-home-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-189996 Another question: are you planning to use this for cooking or for drinking? Again, I would personally discourage the latter. There are much better hydration sources! Hope this helped! Cheers, Lauren (GGG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
