LuckyPennies Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi All, I've eaten eggs for the first three days and am considering trying something new tomorrow. If I make this pumpkin/banana dish and add two small sausage patties will that provide me with enough vegetable to start the day? Thanks for your help-- Breakfast Pumpkin Custard Ingredients:: 13.5 oz can of full fat coconut milk 1/2 cup chopped pecans, or other nut you like 2 very ripe bananas 3 tbsp almond butter, or almond meal 4 eggs cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie Spice to taste 15 oz can pumpkin puree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not really, no.From what I know of these recipes I'm guessing this is a double portion which means that's a half a tin of pumpkin puree for one day, plus a half a tin of coconut milk & a generous helping of nuts, PLUS some almond butter - which is pretty fat heavy. The banana would not count toward your veg intake.These kind of dishes are very 'desserty' and really are trying to replicate a porridge type dish, and given that desserts are out & the rule is to not try & recreate off plan foods with compliant ingredients I'd say this is best kept until after your Whole30.Have you tried a blended soup with some sausage patties on the side? Many eat soup for breakfast. Or something like a korma curry served over cauli rice or greens - it has that kind of sweet/savoury flavour too.

LuckyPennies Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks for your reply. I had a feeling it wouldn't really qualify based on the amount of sugar from the bananas and the fat from the almond butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the pumpkin/banana dish is really dessert food and the Whole30 requires that you avoid consuming dessert dishes. The amount of sugar and the almond butter is only a symptom of the dessert issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELemon30 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Do you eat tuna? May not be palatable for breakfast for some but it could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
